Prince William gave an emotional tribute to his father King Charles III with a touching nod to his late grandmother Queen Elizabeth II during the star-studded coronation concert at Windsor Castle in the UK.
The newly-crowned King and royal family joined thousands of people for the illustrious finale to the weekend of royal events.
He was greeted by three cheers from the 20,000-strong crowd.
During the spectacle, members of the royal family, including 8-year-old Princess Charlotte and Prince George, 9, waved Union flags along with the large crowd.
Some of the big names who headlined the concert include Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, Steve Winwood, Paloma Faith, Bette Midler, Andrea Bocelli and Peter Tong.
Even Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog made an appearance, joking with host Hugh Bonneville.

Richie got everyone on their feet, with even the King spotted dancing along to the star's performance.
Royal commentator Dickie Arbiter said Richie is quite a notable name at the concert after being the Prince's Trust since 2019.
The star performed Easy and All Night Long.
A recorded message from actor Tom Cruise from a plane cockpit was played to the crowd.
In that message he said, "pilot to pilot. Your Majesty, you can be my wingman any time".
Prince William gave a speech about his father but not without a tongue-in-cheek remark.
"I want to say a few words about my father and why I believe this weekend is so important. But don't worry unlike Lionel I won't go on all night long," he said.
The prince also included a touching tribute to his late grandmother.
"As my grandmother said when she was crowned, Coronations are a declaration of our hopes for the future," he said.
"And I know she's up there fondly keeping an eye on us as she would be a very proud mother."
He exclaimed the family is proud of King Charles and his endeavours to celebrate and support people of all faiths and backgrounds as well as his understanding of the impending climate crisis.
"Pa, we are all so proud of you," the prince said.
He finished his speech by saying, "God save the King".
Following the speech, concertgoers sang "God Save the King" as landmarks around the UK were lit up in colourful lights.
Arbiter earlier said during the Diamond Jubilee and Platinum Jubilee for Queen Elizabeth II, King Charles began his speech with "your majesty, mummy" and now crowds are hoping for a similar dedication from Prince William.
"I hope William does the same, something similar like 'your majesty, pa'," Arbiter said.
"He would get a lot of applause."
However, this did not eventuate.
The entertainment was interspersed with more serious moments. A message from Charles on the importance of environmental conservation was played, and the show was accompanied by a light and drone display with a nature theme.
Other music icons including Katy Perry brought concertgoers to their feet as she sang her hits Roar and Firework while adorned in a golden ball gown.
Charlotte and her mother, Kate, the Princess of Wales, sang along as Perry performed at the concert.
The concert was closed by British pop royalty Take That who were accompanied by German DJ Robin Shulz and Britain's Got Talent star Calum Scott.
The group performed their hit single Greatest Day before drawing the curtain at the end of coronation celebrations.
Many members of the public queued for hours to secure the best spot in the concert however photos from the event show a traffic jam of concertgoers.
Just 10 minutes before the concert started, police had to intervene with crowd control issues with thousands trying to get into the stands.
Photos show a deadlock at the entrance to the event.
Half of the attendees at the event won a ticket through a ballot process.
It comes after a weekend of pomp and pageantry for the coronation of the King fulfilling the moment he was born for.
