Coronation: Swearing allegiance to King Charles III around the world

People from around the world watching the broadcast of the Coronation of King Charles this weekend are being invited to join a "chorus of millions" to swear allegiance to the King and his heirs, organisers say.

The public pledge is one of several striking changes to the ancient ceremony that have been revealed.

In a coronation full of firsts, female clergy will play a prominent role, and the King himself will pray out loud.

The Christian service will also see religious leaders from other faiths have an active part for the first time.

Listeners in India and Nigeria tell us if they'll be joining in.
