King Charles hailed the work of the Commonwealth in bringing countries together as he and Britain's senior royals gathered at London's Westminster Abbey on Monday for annual celebrations for the international organisation he leads.

The multicultural service features music, poetry, dance and readings drawn from across the globe, including special performances by Joan Armatrading and members of the Kanneh-Mason family among others. Sonali Shah interviews special guests and those participating in the service.
