As the coronation of King Charles III is taking place at the Westminster Abbey, London, a number of news outlets and pages on social media have started sharing early photos from the star-studded ceremony.

There is a tall list of invited guests, numbering over 2000.

Some of these people include the Asantehene of Ghana, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II; his wife, Lady Julia; and Ghana's president, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

A good representation of the leaders of Commonwealth countries are also in attendance.
