Following the council meeting, the first public proclamation of the new King was read from the Friary Court balcony by the Garter King of Arms at St James’s Palace, which was met with trumpeters and a gun salute.
King Charles III's coronation is expected to be held at Westminster Abbey, where royal coronations have occurred for the past 900 years. This is also where Her Majesty's state funeral was held.
Charles will be the 40th monarch to be crowned in the Abbey, while William the Conquerer was the first.

It will be an Anglican service, carried out by the Archbishop of Canterbury and during the ceremony, King Charles will take the coronation oath where he will be anointed with oils and be given the orb and sceptre, before receiving St Edward's Crown, which the Archbishop of Canterbury will place on his head.
We can also expect a selection of readings and music at the coronation, whenever it takes place.
