ALL eyes were on King Charles III and Queen Camilla as they were crowned at Westminster Abbey yesterday.
Every detail of the momentous occasion was meticulously planned - and Camilla even included a sweet secret message on her dress.
As well as her crown, Camilla wore a white Coronation dress which was adorned in gold embroidery, and if you look closely there were two dogs sewn into the design.
These were supposed to represent her two rescue dogs; Bluebell and Beth.
Eagle-eyed fans also spotted she had her children and grandchildren’s names embroidered onto the gown.
Camilla and her first husband Andrew Parker Bowles share two children; Laura Lopes and Tom Parker Bowles.

And she’s also a grandmother-of-five through her first marriage, with Tom sharing son Freddy and daughter Lola with ex-wife Sara Buys, and Laura having twins Gus and Louis and daughter Eliza with husband Harry Lopes.
Camilla was married to Andrew between 1973 to 1995, and tied the knot with Charles in 2005.
Camilla, 75, and Charles, 74, were cheered by thousands of royal fans to ring in his new reign as King.
Prince William, Princess Kate and their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis joined the monarch.

Charles and Camilla returned to the Palace in the 260-year-old Gold State Coach in scenes similar to his mother's coronation.
Famously uncomfortable, the four tonne gilded coach is suspended on leather straps and can only be pulled by eight horses.
The Queen used the carriage for both her processions and later described the bumpy ride as "horrible".
A whopping 4,000 members of the Armed Forces including 416 from the Commonwealth and British Overseas Territories guided the new King and Queen back to the Palace.
Music was provided by 19 military bands marching in an exact rhythm in a massive ceremonial operation not seen since the Queen's coronation.
The impressive procession followed a coronation service attended by world leaders, celebs and royals this morning at Westminster Abbey.
Smoke filled the air around Horse Guards Parade as a six gun salute rang out at the exact moment the St Edward’s Crown was placed on Charles' head.
Thousands of royal fans camped outside cheered “God Save the King!” amid a fanfare of trumpets.
Prince William also pledged allegiance to his dad, saying: "I, William, Prince of Wales, pledge my loyalty to you, and faith and truth I will bear unto you, as your liege man of life and limb. So help me God."
Over the years, the King has expressed a desire to thrust the royal family into the modern age, which was reflected in today's service.
Charles shunned the extravagant trappings of wealth seen in his own mother's £1.57million ceremony as he moved towards a stripped-back monarchy.
The guestlist was slashed to just 2,000, compared to the Queen's 8,250, and the length of the service was drastically reduced.
Even the dress code was different, with the King opting to wear military uniform instead of the silk stockings and breeches seen in the past.
But some traditions remained - including the private anointing with holy oil, which took place behind a screen.
He also became the first monarch to publicly pray at a coronation, vowing to be a "blessing to all thy children, of every faith and belief".

The service took place in front of a host of world leaders and stars, as well as members of the royal family.
Prince Harry was among the group after he accepted an invitation for his dad's big day - although Meghan Markle is remaining in the US for Archie's birthday.
