From the spectacular processions to the historic ceremony and the eagerly-awaited balcony appearance - King Charles' Coronation appeared to go off without a hitch.
Crowds lined the streets for the huge event and even though the RAF flypast was scaled back, it still included in the majestic Red Arrows.
As the royals took to the Buckingham Palace balcony ahead of the aircraft soaring above, Charles, Queen Camilla and the other royals beamed as they waved to the people below.
However, it appears that one thing did bother the newly-crowned King about his Coronation day - and he wished he was able to change it, the horrific wet weather.
After appearing on the balcony, lip reader Elisabeth Taunton caught Charles looking out from the balcony and telling one of his pages of honour: "Isn't it beautiful?"
However, she claims he followed it up with: "If only it wasn’t so wet today."
As the balcony appearance took place, revellers on The Mall could be seen huddling under umbrellas trying to keep dry as it came amid wet conditions.
Showers blighted the Coronation all day - just as they did 70 years ago when at the late Queen's Coronation in 1953.
Coronation festivities came to a close on Monday night when the King and Queen pledged to rededicate their lives to service as Charles called the nation’s support throughout the historic celebrations “the greatest possible coronation gift”.
In his special coronation message, Charles said: “We thank you, each and everyone.”
Traditional official portraits marking the crowning of Charles III and Queen Camilla were released to round off the monarchy’s landmark occasion.
Among them, the King was captured in his full regalia – wearing the Imperial State Crown, holding the Orb and Sceptre with Cross, and dressed in his regal purple tunic and Robe of Estate, seated on a Throne Chair in the Throne Room at Buckingham Palace.
Camilla was pictured alongside the King, and also in a solo portrait, wearing Queen Mary’s Crown, with the train of her lengthy embroidered Robe of Estate spread in front of her.
The working royal family – the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Edinburghs, the Princess Royal and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, the Duke of Kent, the Gloucesters and Princess Alexandra – were also photographed stood with the King and Queen in the images by Hugo Burnand.
The King, signing his words Charles R, said he and Camilla gave “our most sincere and heartfelt thanks to all those who have helped to make this such a special occasion”.
The now-crowned monarch used his coronation message to issue an affirmation for the rest of his reign, saying he and Camilla would “now rededicate our lives” to royal service.
