The Spectacle and Controversy of King Charles III's Coronation.
TL;DR Summary
Guests who attended the coronation of King Charles III at Westminster Abbey felt the moment in a way that those watching on television could not. The choir, organ, and orchestra's performance of Handel's coronation anthem, "Zadok the Priest," and the congregation's enthusiastic shout of "God save the king!" were among the highlights. The ceremony was a moment of celebration for Charles and his supporters, but there was also a sense of the torch being passed in the place where the kings and queens of England have been crowned for 1,000 years.
