King Charles's Coronation was an impressive showcase of historic pomp and pageantry, watched by hundreds of millions of people all around the world.
The Royal Family, dressed in their finery, were out in force to support the new monarch and his wife Queen Camilla as they were crowned in Westminster Abbey. There was just one thing that marred the day - and that was the great British weather.
Grey skies and drizzle was the forecast in London and it became something of a talking point on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. Key members of the family appeared alongside King Charles and Queen Camilla to watch the flypast and greet the cheering crowds.
Lip reader Jacqui Press gave a revealing insight into some of the conversation exchanged between the royals - including King Charles's concern about his balcony appearance.
The new monarch was seemingly worried about getting too close to the edge, saying to his wife, via the Mail: "I don't want to get too close... I might give myself a fright!" He then added: 'Be careful, come close,' to Camilla.

The King and Queen also remarked about how lovely it was to see everyone, with Camilla noting: "Oh look how wonderful this is. Remarkable."
She then exclaimed, "Ohhh, rain" before pausing and trying to tilt her head upwards - something she was unable to do because of the weight of her crown.
When on the balcony to watch the fly-past, Kate also commented on the weather to William, saying, "It's raining", to which the Prince responded with a disappointed sigh.
William spent much of his time instructing the couple's children, encouraging them to wave and watch the flypast. When the Red Arrows flew overhead, William exclaimed, "Look guys, please."
One page of honour then said: "It's loud!" to which Prince George smiled and agreed: "Yes!"
When it came time for the family to head back inside, Press claims William said to Prince Louis, "Yes, wave!"
King Charles then waved at the crowd below and said: "Thank you everybody, thank you very much." He then exclaimed: 'Look at everyone here.'
"Thank you everyone, thank you for coming," he added, while waving. Queen Camilla said: "Bye! So lovely," before going inside.
It comes after a lip reader revealed comments made by Prince Harry at the coronation, which he attended alone. He arrived at Westminster Abbey alongside his cousins, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, and their respective husbands, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and Jack Brooksbank.
While walking in, Harry gave courteous greetings to some of the other guests, saying "hello", "morning" and "nice to see you" to various people. The lip reader also claimed he said "look at that" in acknowledgment of the grandeur of the occasion and also said "delightful".

Body language expert Judi James further noted that Harry looked nervous while he waited for Charles to arrive. She told The Mirror: "As Harry waited in his seat for his father and brother to arrive there were some subliminal signs of building tension or anxiety. He sucked his lips in and licked them and his blink rate increased, suggesting adrenalin prompted by nerves."
