The King and Queen have called the nation’s support “the greatest possible coronation gift” as they release official portraits marking the end of the historic weekend.
Charles has issued a written message saying he and Camilla give their “most sincere and heartfelt thanks” to “countless people” who helped make coronation celebrations across the UK a success.
The newly-crowned King said he and Camilla have rededicated their lives “to serving the people of the United Kingdom, the Realms and Commonwealth”.
The King has been captured in his full regalia in traditional official portraits marking his crowning by Hugo Burnand. Camilla was pictured alongside the King and also in a solo portrait.
Meanwhile Prince Louis turned into a labourer as he joined Prince George, Princess Charlotte and the Prince and Princess of Wales by shovelling dirt and operating a digger as they helped out at a Scout Hut in Slough as part of the national volunteering drive to mark the coronation.
