King Charles III has officially been announced as the new monarch of the United Kingdom. He vowed to "follow the inspiring example" of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, in the historic ceremony which dates back centuries.
The king, who ascended the throne on Thursday after Queen Elizabeth's death, paid tribute to her "life well lived" and reiterated her "promise of lifelong service" in his first address to the nation.
The death of the 96-year-old queen ended a seven-decade reign that made her a symbol of stability in a troubled world.
The United Kingdom has entered a period of official mourning and tributes have been paid to the late queen from around the world.
