Inside Westminster Abbey, the crown, the robes, and the regalia seemed so apt - but the King must now ensure the Royal Family can move with the times.
In the cavernous amphitheatre of Westminster Abbey, we were hit by what felt like a wall of sound.
This was a scene that only a few years ago would have caused uproar among some in this country, but now, there they were, occupying those ornate thrones, supporting each other in their 70s as you could see their faces etched with the enormity of this moment. As I walked down the aisle you could see sitting in the front row people from across the UK who have served their own communities wearing their best dresses, hats and suits, sitting alongside former royal staff, political figures, and those of other faiths and nationalities dressed in their own religious or indigenous dress.
