  • King Charles III's coronation took place on Saturday at Westminster Abbey.
  • The children of the royal family participated in the event, as photos from the day show.

The coronation of Charles III and Camilla was held on Saturday at Westminster Abbey in London, England.

The event saw Charles, 74, make history as the oldest monarch to officially take the British throne.

But that didn't stop the youngest royals in attendance from stealing the show.

Charles' grandson Prince George, 9, played an important role in the momentous occasion. George — who is second in the royal line of succession, after his father Prince William — served as a page of honor for the king.

Although they didn't have an official role at the event, George's siblings Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5, made an impression as well. Charlotte was Kate Middleton's mini-me in a coordinating outfit and headpiece, and Louis looked like he might be bored during the service.

Charles' pages included his grandson Prince George and the sons of relatives and close friends of the king and queen, Lord Oliver Cholmondeley, Ralph Tollemache, and Nicholas Barclay.

There was a fair amount of standing around before the event began. At one point, a bored-looking George stuck his tongue out, as many 9-year-olds would.

Inside Westminster Abbey, George and the other pages had an important responsibility: carrying the train of King Charles' coronation robe, which was close to 15 feet long.
