Staffordshire residents attend King Charles' coronation at Westminster Abbey
"A moment in history to be treasured", was the view of two Staffordshire residents who witnessed the coronation first hand.
Ian Dudson CBE, HM Lord-Lieutenant of Staffordshire, and Lianne Al-Khaldi BEM, of Stafford, were both present inside Westminster Abbey on Saturday.
Ian Dudson said, "It was a wonderful service and a huge honour to be there representing Staffordshire.
"No-one there could fail to recognise the significance of the event and it was very moving, particularly the very poignant singing of the national anthem at the end."
Speaking outside the Abbey immediately after the coronation, Lianne Al-Khaldi said, "What an amazing experience that was; everyone was so happy and it was such a moving ceremony.
"The King and Queen looked absolutely phenomenal, they looked amazing - and a lot smaller in real life than I thought, that close up."
