In a lavish and archaic ritual not seen in Britain since 1953, the king was anointed with holy oil and swore the oath of kings before the archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, placed St Edward’s crown on his head to a cry of 'God Save the King!' But there were accusations of police heavy-handedness after a number of anti-royalist protesters, including the head of the UK’s leading anti-monarchy campaign group, Republic, were arrested before the beginning of the procession. Here are the key moments from the historic day.
