London police said in a statement that all of those arrested remained in custody.
Charles III was crowned king in Britain’s biggest ceremony for seven decades, a spectacle of pomp and grandeur that sought to blend a millennium of history with a monarchy fit for a new era.
In front of an audience of 100 world leaders and millions of viewers, the Archbishop of Canterbury, spiritual leader of the Anglican Church, slowly placed the 360-year-old St Edward’s Crown on Charles’s head, who sat on a 14th century throne in Westminster Abbey.
In a historic and solemn two-hour ceremony dating back to the reign of King William the Conqueror in 1066, Camilla, Charles’s second wife, was crowned queen.
A huge military parade followed, rifle shots were fired in salute, thousands of soldiers cheered three times, military planes flew past just above the ground as the newly crowned king and queen saluted from the balcony of Buckingham Palace to the jubilant crowds gathered on Dhamul Route.
Charles, 74, automatically succeeded his mother as British monarch after her death last September. The coronation is not necessary, but it is considered as a means of legitimizing the new sovereign in general.
