'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. What's your favourite memory of the weekend?'

It comes as the Archbishop of Canterbury praises Charles' 'sense of duty' as he returned to public-facing events following his cancer diagnosis.

Charles attended three events last week as he resumed public-facing royal duties, indicating the positive effect of the cancer treatment he is receiving as an outpatient.

Justin Welby said anointing and crowning the King during last year's ceremony was the 'privilege of a lifetime', and he paid tribute to the King's 'openness in sharing his condition' - a 'characteristic of his willingness to help and support others'.
