London England.- King Charles III said Sunday he was “deeply moved” by his coronation celebration, which continued with street parties leading up to a concert by singers Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Andrea Bocelli at Windsor Castle.
Amid much pomp, Charles and his wife Camilla were crowned at London’s Westminster Abbey on Saturday in Britain’s biggest ceremonial event in 70 years.
A Buckingham Palace spokesman said Carlos and Camila were “deeply moved by yesterday’s events.”
The King and Queen are “deeply grateful both to everyone who helped make it such a glorious occasion, and to the many who turned out to show their support in large numbers in London and beyond,” the spokesperson added.
Prince William, heir to the throne, and his wife Catherine joined crowds in Windsor ahead of the concert.
While the King’s younger brother Prince Edward, his sister Princess Anne and nieces Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie also attended the “Big Lunch” events, joining some of the 50,000 block parties that are estimated to take place in the country.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was among the hosts of a coronation luncheon. Among the guests were Ukrainian families, youth groups and the first lady of the United States, Jill Biden.
Later, Carlos and Camila and other royals will join an audience of 20,000 for the “Coronation Concert” in Windsor, which will also feature Take That, pianist Lang Lang, and Hollywood actor Tom Cruise.
