Police arrested the leader of the anti-monarchy group Republic hours before King Charles’ coronation on Saturday, removing him from the few hundred yellow-clad protesters who had gathered among the crowds lining the procession route in central London. Republic had said it would mount the biggest protest against a British monarch in modern history. Protesters wore yellow t-shirts to stand out from those clad in red, white and blue, and held up signs saying “Not My King”. They spent most of the service booing or singing songs such as “he is just a normal man”.
