King Charles is celebrating the first anniversary of his historic coronation in a modern way.

On May 6, the royal family shared a new 90-second video looking back at the three days of festivities held in honor of the King’s crowning alongside Queen Camilla at Westminster Abbey on May 6, 2023.

“Today marks the first anniversary of The King and Queen’s Coronation in @wabbey. As well as the service itself, the Coronation Weekend saw a carriage procession through central London, a fly-past, a Royal Salute by 4,000 troops in the gardens of Buckingham Palace, a Coronation Concert at Windsor Castle and a UK-wide volunteering initiative,” courtiers captioned the clip. “What’s your favorite memory of the weekend?”

The video opened with footage of the King greeting well-wishers on The Mall outside Buckingham Palace on coronation eve, as audio rolled from a pre-recorded message he released at the time for train and tube stations in the U.K.

“My wife and I wish you and your families a wonderful coronation weekend,” the message from the King said.
