The coronation is a symbolic ceremony combining a religious service and pageantry. For the first time, the coronation will involve multiple faith leaders and representatives from different cultures and communities from across the United Kingdom and around the world.

A Coronation Prayer

Almighty God, the fountain of all goodness,
bless our Sovereign Lord, King Charles,
and all who are in authority under him;
that they may order all things
in wisdom and equity, righteousness and peace,
to the honour of your name,
and the good of your Church and people;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
