There were many celebrity guests including Lord Lloyd-Webber, Dame Judi Dench, Stephen Fry, Katie Perry and Ant and Dec.
This morning star Gyles, 75, who is friends with Charles and Camilla, opened up about what it was like to be at the historic event – and the things viewers at home couldn’t see.
Speaking to the BBC, Gyles said: “There was a fit of coughing nearby.
“I thought, ‘What’s going to happen now’…
“And Dame Emma Thompson fumbled in her bag and pulled out a cough drop, which was then passed down the line and given to the cougher, then they stopped, which was wonderful because we had music like that.”
The TV favorite felt privileged and overjoyed to be there.
“It was deeply moving to be at the place where rulers have been crowned for 1000+ years and to witness the coronation of King Charles III. And to become Queen Camilla,” he added.
“I was looking around right at that moment and a lot of people had tears in their eyes, it was a very moving moment.
“A great day, but also a human day.”
The celebrations don’t stop there.
King Charles and Queen Camilla will watch world famous acts from around the world perform at the Coronation Concert tonight.
Millions will watch as Take That, Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, Paloma Faith, Olly Murs, Nicole Scherzinger and more perform in celebration of the king.
The big event starts at 8pm and is scheduled to last two hours before ending at 10pm.
