King Charles' emotional response to historic moment leaves BBC coronation viewers taken aback

BBC viewers were taken aback by King Charles' reaction to a major moment at today's coronation.

Saturday marked a huge day for the monarch as he was officially crowned at Westminster Abbey. The new monarch was presented with the bible from The Right Reverend Dr Iain Greenshields, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland before he took the oath at the service.

The King said: "I, Charles, do solemnly and sincerely in the presence of God profess, testify, and declare that I am a faithful Protestant, and that I will, according to the true intent of the enactments which secure the Protestant succession to the throne, uphold and maintain the said enactments to the best of my powers according to law."
