Rishi Sunak, the British Prime Minister of Indian-origin, made history by becoming the first to perform a reading at the coronation ceremony of King Charles III and Queen Camilla at Westminster Abbey in London. Sunak read from the New Testament's Epistle to the Colossians, emphasizing the theme of service to others, in line with the recent tradition of UK Prime Ministers giving readings at state occasions. Sunak and his wife, Akshata Murty, led the procession of flag-bearers as the UK's Union Jack flag was carried into the Abbey by a high-ranking Royal Air Force cadet. Sunak described the Coronation as an extraordinary moment of national pride and a cherished ritual through which a new era is born.
