In a departure from previous Coronation ceremonies, King Charles had requested other faith leaders to be present. Sri Lankan Head Monk of the London Buddhist Vihara, Venerable Bogoda Seelawimala Thera represented the Buddhist community in the United Kingdom at yesterday’s event.
One of the key segments in yesterday’s coronation service was made up of the Westminster Abbey choir, the Chapel Royal Choir of St James’s Palace, and singers from the Monteverdi Choir. They were conducted by Westminster Abbey’s choir conductor and music director Andrew Nethsingha, a British citizen with Sri Lankan roots.
