Big changes for the King's Coronation.

It's the first crowning of a British monarch in 70 years — since that of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.

For the first time there'll be hymns in Welsh, Scottish Gaelic, and Irish Gaelic; female bishops participating and other religions involved.

Exeter University History Professor Jeremy Black told Mike Hosking that the mood is very different since the last coronation, and the King has sensed that.

He says in 1953 it was the coronation for the monarch of a major world empire, but now it's a more modest family of nations.
