I’m trend Kelly local news. your movers. Welcome back. We Are taking you live to London this
Buckingham the balcony of
Buckingham Palace, the newly
crowned king and queen, as you
see them there waving to the
public. And as we know, is such
an iconic shot that has been
seen around the world. You see
there King Charles, the third
and Queen Camilla and the royal
family just now starting to step
out onto the balcony. This is
such a historic moment looking
at here. We’re waiting to see
which members of the Royal make
an appearance. Of course. We saw
the Prince William and Kate. We
saw their three children as
well, waiting for them to make
an appearance as well. Actually,
Alex it was interesting, Prince
George, he’s the in line, of
course, to the British throne,
held a special role in that
coronation. Obviously, this is
the first coronation the UK has
had in 70 years. You can see
them to left of your screen.
Prince William, Princess Kate,
the three children there as well
, eldest son of the prince and
princess. He was the page of
honour, asking behind King
Charles, holding the ceremonial
as they were entering the abbey
. And then, of course, Princess
Charlotte taking the spotlight.
Prince the youngest there,
capturing the attention as.
Well, and Nicole Perez has been
live on the ground in London for
us all week long live there on
the ground as well. We’re
waiting to hear from her now.
Yes. And as we are waiting for
Nicole, as we have been talking
about all morning long, and
you’ve been seeing in our
special coverage here one of the
coronation processions, once
they reach Buckingham Palace,
then, of course, they have the
royal salute then leading to
where we are right now, which is
that iconic site of the royal
family on the Buckingham Palace
balcony, waving to everybody. We
want to go over Nicole Perez,
who’s live in London right now.
Alex and what a sight to see
right now. KING The third on the
balcony waving alongside Queen
Camilla and other members of the
royal family. He wearing the
imperial state crown. They look
stunning up on the balcony the
first time we see them up there.
Remember the last time a balcony
shot we had was in the jubilee
with Queen Elizabeth, late Queen
Elizabeth the second. So they
wave to the crowd below millions
of people there braving the rain
and the cold and the wind to get
a glimpse of this shot before
the fly. Now we’re waiting to
get word on what is happening
with the flypast because the
weather, they’ve been doing some
test to see if they can get the
planes up in the sky. Andrew, I
heard you talking about Prince
George. Only nine years old. And
let me tell you what a role he
had in this for. His
grandfather, one of the heir to
the throne, second air, his
father, William, the heir to
King Charles. And to Prince
George and was to hold King
Charles’s role during the
procession he was one of the
pages of honour there were eight
of them. The rest included the
grandchildren of Queen Camilla.
But he did such a great job in
his position and every time the
cameras got a glimpse of him. He
was very he looked a little bit
nervous as young boy. But what a
great job he did as one of the
pages of honour was Prince
Louis, who also behaved very
well during the service,
Princess Charlotte. She looked
beautiful her tiara matched her
mother’s the of Wales Kate they
really did look stunning and
then they got to ride in one of
the carriages on the way back
the coronation procession to
Buckingham Palace. And you will
get glimpses of the kids they
were so proud to be waving big
smiles on their faces. So was
really, truly nice to see. So
Now you’re looking if you’re not
looking live is the balcony shot
with the members of the Royal
family. So King Charles, the
third queen, Camilla, her sister
up there with her as well.
Annabel She played a very
important role in this. Camilla
wanted her sister to be a part
of it. She’s very close to her
sister. She sat behind her in
the church in Westminster Abbey
. And now there she is, the new
queen Charles’s wife, almost 20
years. You know, we talked to a
lot of people in the crowd
because you mention King
Charles. A lot of people
remember Diana. And there’s
always some friction when it
comes to Princess and Queen
Camilla and people a lot to say,
but now they’re welcoming their
king and their new queen. I
believe the five flypast is
happening the moment. There are
16 helicopters that are going to
take part in this flypast and it
looks like they clearance to go
ahead and go through with it. 60
aircrafts will be a part of this
flypast it’ll last for minutes,
so go ahead and take a look live
now at these skies in central.
Members of the army, the royal
navy, royal air force are all
taking part in this over central
London. And if you are talking a
little bit hard to hear, so go
ahead and interrupt me if be
this show is going to end with
red arrows, it’s going to be a
final crescendo. A beautiful
show in the sky. Let’s take look
now at some of the helicopters
that are flying by. And of
course, this is so incredible to
and obviously people are taking
this in on the ground in time
and we saw that kind of
procession of the people up to
Buckingham Palace because they
all the way on the other side of
the mount and then just before
this moment actually brought up
as giant group kind of talk
about that moment. How many
people have been out there? You
know, what do they do now,
Andrew? Millions Of people are
out here. I don’t have an exact
number for you, but just based
on images and you know, based on
being here in the past for the
funeral coverage, the jubilee,
there are millions of people
here witnessing this. And we did
actually watch that as well. So
along Mall, that’s where the
questions were happening. So on
the way to the abbey they had it
cordoned off. So there were
barriers and a lot of police
around. So They weren’t letting
people spill onto the mall
because they had to let the
procession go. So once they came
back, the coronation coronation
procession came back, they
opened it up. They allowed the
people to spill on the mall.
They actually did that. The
Jubilee. We were sort blocked
off. And then once we had
clearance you kind of saw people
running onto mall. We did see
that today because everybody’s
very excited. They want to be
directly under. So all you have
to do is up and see this amazing
in the sky. So it is incredible
to see people don’t care about
the rain. Been raining for hours
out here, but they are going to
get their spots I believe there
were some high rises as well.
People were going off to see
mean. And all you really see of
the crowd is looking up to see
what’s because it’s truly
incredible. I’ve look we’re
taking a live look at this
balcony moment right now that
everyone’s taking in have not
seen Prince Harry just yet. We
also seen the princess and
obviously she’s very close to
her brother, King, Princess and
good years. There’s a flyover
you’re talking about right now.
Yeah. Take a look at. Let’s take
a moment to take it in. You Know
it’s important to remember it’s
not only the country they’re
taking this in, but the world.
This is a global event. So money
so invested in so involved in
the royal family and you know
watching coronation live we’ve
had it here 5:00 in the morning
our here we’ve been following
this family for four decades now
and so much tied into this
family and what’s really been
interesting as we were taking a
look at royal family on the
balcony here, we’ve heard of
leading up to this event the
importance of signify the shift
of the monarchy. And we’ll talk
about that as they navigate the
blend of progressive society and
really the representation of
times and tying that all with
the deep rooted, long standing
tradition has been done so
beautifully today. Nicole can,
we talk about just I know we’re
taking a look at this image here
and we are seeing this in terms
just the panning of every body
out there. What some of the
things that you have heard from
people just being out London and
leading up to obviously the
coronation and what this
signifies in terms of just how
momentous this moment for
everybody there. So we have
talked to a lot of people while
we’ve been here, people, locals
tourists, people from all over
world. As you mentioned, a lot
of British people tell me
they’re very to be British in
this moment. But then we spoken
to many Americans to who say
they’ve come over here because
they wanted to witness this we
have never seen something. This
the last time was in 1953. So
For some people, this is the
only time they will ever get to
witnesses. So it’s moment in
history and a lot of people have
expressed that. Another thing
that people have said we’ve met
we met this woman from Poland
and she said she appreciated the
king and his choice in diverse
this coronation. This was first
coronation where they had
non-Christian faith leaders,
Buddhists, Jewish Sikhs have a
role. This coronation, they were
presenting him with Regalia is
the first time that happens.
Female bishops The first time
they take part in the coronation
. So while he spoke to many
traditions and that was very
important to the British people,
he also made it his own and
opened it up bit, started to
modernize it changed the times
but keep some of the traditions
are thousands of years old so
some of the things that the
people have we’ve spoken to many
people wanted so incredible to
hear what they have to say but a
lot of them very proud, a lot of
them who had different opinion
of King Charles maybe eight
months ago when Queen Elizabeth
passed. And we were here for her
funeral. They have completely
their minds and a lot of what
they is, we’re open to it. We
know that he’s been waiting for
a long his whole life to be in
this position. And now we want
to see what he’s going to do. We
want to give him a chance. I do
want to make a mention, Alex and
Andrew of the Flypast. So it was
to be a six minute flypast with
60 aircraft. So now I, I’ve
mentioned it’s been raining for
several hours. It was a huge
scale down. But because of the
weather, they can’t take chances
for safety reasons so we did see
the helicopters and what you saw
there was the red arrows that
was supposed to be the
culmination of the flypast. So
They just scaled down what they
were to put on a little bit of a
show. And I that the crowd
appreciated that if you take a
live look you’re probably
looking at the balcony King
Charles doing his final wave
they’re members of the royal
family walking inside Buckingham
Palace signifying the end of
this coronation. It really was
incredible. I mean, it’s to
choose another word, but the and
ceremony that the British do
they so well the military
operation in seven years truly
incredible be here in and I know
I speak the millions in the
crowd that have wanted to be
anywhere else. Absolutely in
recent years especially spaces
on the balcony have really been
reserved for working members of
. The royal family. Charles was
very clear that the coronation
it’s not just a event it is a
state event at the end of the
day. So many people
understanding that coming
together to really celebrate and
enjoy this moment and you know
probably there were so many
beautiful during the coronation
but probably one of it my
opinion what the most powerful
moment was when we had the
gospel music which was included
in the coronation this year we
have ascension choir hand-picked
by the king himself really
talking speaking to the change
in terms of the evolution of
monarchy which is obviously a
welcomed conversation and
beautiful to see the importance
to note also there were some
people missing the balcony shot
I’m sure that will be dissected
