LEFT: The Coronation chair - Most of the graffiti on the back part of the Chair is the result of Westminster schoolboys and visitors carving their names in the 18th and 19th centuries. One carved ‘P. Abbott slept in this chair 5-6 July 1800’ on the seat. A bomb attack in 1914 – thought to be organised by the Suffragettes fighting for women’s rights – even knocked a small corner off it.
RIGHT: The Bahamian flag bearer for the procession into Westminster Abbey with UK High Commissioner Tom Hartley.

INSIGHT: A moment in history for us all
THE Coronation of HM King Charles III was an historic moment by any measure. Never have so many people watched a Coronation, and its mystery – hard to describe or imagine or draw – meant over 450 world leaders travelled to London for this Coronation.
