We're now listening to a song which is being sung in the Welsh language - a first in a coronation.

It's Kyrie eleison, sung by the choir with Sir Bryn Terfel.

A few moments ago, we saw St Edward’s Crown, which will be placed on the head of King Charles III as part of a coronation ritual that goes back centuries.

Rarely seen outside the Tower of London, the gold crown will be worn for less than an hour before being stored away for the coronation of the next monarch.

The UK is, according to the Royal Family website, the only European country that still uses regalia - the symbols of royalty like the crown, orb and sceptres - in coronations.

The individual objects symbolise different aspects of the service and responsibilities of the monarch.

Charles will be presented with the Sovereign's Orb, the Sovereign's Sceptre with Cross, and the Sovereign's Sceptre with Dove and other items at key moments in the ceremony.

And Camilla will be presented with the Queen Consort's Rod with Dove and the Queen Consort's Sceptre with Cross - mirroring the King's sceptres.

The formal opening comes from Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby.

The main sections of the service will be as follows:

• Recognition: Charles will be proclaimed the “undoubted King” before the congregation are asked to show their homage and service. The congregation will shout "God Save the King!”
• Oath: The King will swear an oath to confirm that he will uphold the law and the Church of England during his reign
• Anointing: He will sit in St Edward’s Chair, also known as the Coronation Chair, and be anointed with oil on his head, breast and hands
• Investiture: He will receive the regalia, including the Sovereign’s Orb and sceptres before St Edward’s Crown is placed on his head
• Enthronement: The King will move from the Coronation Chair to a throne, Prince William will pay homage to his father, those watching - in the abbey and elsewhere - will be invited to pledge allegiance

"I come not to be served but to serve," says the King as Westminster Abbey falls silent.

Now for the service itself - attended by around 2,200 people, including the Royal Family as well as foreign royals and heads of state.

It’ll be conducted by Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby - with a newly drawn-up liturgy drawing on ancient tradition.

The choir sings from a composition by Hubert Parry, which includes the words "Vivat Regina Camilla!"

It means "long live Queen Camilla".

The King and queen consort will shortly take their places before the high altar of the Abbey.

It’s a place known as the Coronation Theatre which gives a sense of this being the focal point for the drama and tradition we’re about to witness.

We’re going to see the King presented to the congregation, symbolically turning to the four points of the compass, he’ll be given a Bible and then we’ll hear the oaths, which this time will be framed by a recognition of people having their own “faiths and beliefs”.

For the anointing he’ll step forward to the rather battered but beautiful 700-year-old Coronation Chair.

This is placed in the middle of the painstakingly-restored medieval Cosmati pavement, which was in such a bad state it was covered up with carpet for the previous Coronation.

It was made by 13th-Century Italian craftsmen with many of the pieces of mosaic believed to have been salvaged by medieval bargain-hunters, who took material from old ancient Roman ruins.

So, King Charles will be crowned on top of fragments of an even older civilisation.

We now see the King and queen consort walking through the building themselves.

The King's grandson, Prince George, is serving as a page of honour - alongside some of Camilla's grandchildren.

Here come the bells, ringing out for the King and queen consort who will soon be crowned inside Westminster Abbey.

Prince George, the son of the Prince and Princess of Wales, is lining up with the other pages of honour as they prepare to head inside.

And quite swiftly, Camilla gets out of the carriage and heads into the Abbey with the pages behind her carrying her train.

The Prince of Wales and Catherine, the Princess of Wales, have arrived at Westminster Abbey.

Prince Harry looks relaxed despite all the travelling.

It’s understood he arrived in the UK on a commercial flight yesterday.

He might only stay a couple of hours after the service before flying back to the US for his son’s birthday.

Prince Harry arrived for his father's Coronation a short time ago. Watch the moment below.

We're now seeing a procession of faith leaders - as well as prime ministers or representatives of Commonwealth countries carrying their nations’ flags.

Here we are, then - in time for the Coronation Service itself at 11:00 BST.

King Charles is going to enter through the building's Great West Door - before proceeding through the nave.

A minibus has pulled up and we're seeing the first arrival of a Parker-Bowles - a relative of the queen consort.

Camilla's son Tom Parker-Bowles and daughter Laura Lopes, as well as their father and Camilla's ex-husband Andrew, have all gone into the abbey.

It’s been a tour fit for a king - Big Ben and the Palace of Westminster are among the latest sights to have come into view as the parade travels down Parliament Street.

Next, they’ll navigate the east and south sides of Parliament Square, and the Broad Sanctuary.

Although we saw huge crowds earlier, there are no members of the public around or in Westminster Abbey.

The Duke of York and his daughter Princess Eugenie travelled along The Mall in a car before entering Westminster Abbey.
