BRITAIN'S first coronation in 70 years takes place on Saturday, with Charles 3rd crowned king in an elaborate Christian ceremony steeped in solemn ritual and more than a millennium of history.

The coronation, the first of a British king since 1937, is the religious confirmation of his accession after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth 2nd, last September.
