Scousers have reacted to an "archaic" plan for a "homage of the people" at the King's Coronation.
According to The Sunday Times, this Saturday’s service will "prompt everybody in Westminster Abbey and all those watching on TV at home or elsewhere to make the same promise to the new King."
After King Charles, 74, is crowned, Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, will invite the congregation, and an expected global audience of millions, to pledge their allegiance with the words: “I swear that I will pay true allegiance to Your Majesty, and to your heirs and successors according to law. So help me God.”

Lambeth Palace said yesterday: "The homage of peers has been replaced by a Homage of the People: those watching and listening at home and elsewhere will be invited to make their homage by sharing in the same words, a chorus of millions of voices enabled for the first time in history to participate in this solemn and joyful moment."
But Scousers have shared their opinions of the suggestion. ECHO reader Louise Herdman said: "I don't live in medieval times I only pledge allegiance to myself... God save Louise."
Claire Hooton wrote: "The only pledge I’ll be doing that day will be used cleaning the screen of my TV while it’s off!" Alia Calloo said: "I've already pledged allegiance to my cats that I'll be their humble servant", as Sheila Smith added: "Sounds a bit archaic to me."
Scouse Ma said: "It’s my goldfish’s birthday soz", and Elaine Williamson wrote: "Coronation Street is the only thing I'll be watching lol." Phil Powell added: "Only one king. He played number 7 for Liverpool between 1977 and 1988."
