King Charles has thanked singers who performed at a coronation concert in his honour at Windsor Castle for a "great treat" as a long holiday weekend of celebrations draws to a close.

Amid pomp and pageantry, Charles and Camilla were crowned at London's Westminster Abbey on Saturday in Britain's biggest ceremonial event in 70 years.

Celebrations on Sunday culminated in the coronation concert featuring singers including Lionel Richie and Katy Perry, as the royals joined a 20,000-person audience at Windsor, the king's palace to the west of London.

In a surprise comedy sketch after the concert, Charles and Camilla interrupted Richie and Perry as they were relaying their experience of the weekend on TV show American Idol, on which the singers are judges.

Charles asked Richie whether the singers will be there "all night long", in reference to Richie's hit song.

"I just wanted to check how long you'll be using this room for?" asked a chuckling Charles.

"Thank you so much for your brilliant performance, and Katy, it was wonderful, it really was. A great treat to have you both here."

After a weekend of street parties and celebrations, on Monday, a public holiday in Britain for the coronation, thousands of organisations are getting together for a volunteering program.

Members of the royal family, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and the leader of the opposition are expected to volunteer at "The Big Help Out" events around the country.

Parramatta will be without Mitchell Moses for at least a week after the influential halfback suffered a category-one head knock late in the 26-24 Magic Round loss to Gold Coast.

Moses sustained his injury attempting to tackle 19-year-old debutant Keano Kini in the final 10 minutes of Sunday's match and will miss next week's game against Canberra under the NRL's head injury policy.

"He's fine now but he wasn't good," Eels coach Brad Arthur said.

"We need to get all the advice from our docs but at the end of the day, the rules are 11 days. He'll go through the process and then they'll make the decision what's best for Mitchell."

Jake Arthur is poised to return to the halves and partner Dylan Brown, who threatened to mastermind an Eels comeback on Sunday after Kieran Foran's first try-scoring double since 2015 and Alofiana Khan-Pereira's fifth of the year set the Titans on the path to victory.

Brown's two try assists and 227 run metres helped the Eels exploit the Titans' usual lapses in concentration and cut a 16-4 half-time deficit to only two points in the final minutes.

In the end, only Tanah Boyd's superior goal-kicking separated the sides, who scored five tries apiece in the final game of the NRL's annual football festival at Suncorp Stadium.

The Titans' second upset victory in as many weeks puts their record-equalling capitulation against the Dolphins firmly in the rear-view mirror and moves them into the top eight after round 10.

"We had a good win last week but it was about turning up here and doing it again," said Titans coach Justin Holbrook.

"We had a really good first half and then obviously Parra came very hard at us at the end, which you'd expect, and the boys handled it well. Thrilled with the win."

Five-eighth Foran had been in doubt for Sunday's game after requiring six stitches in his finger and a pain-killer in his toe to get through round nine but made his presence felt early.

Eels fullback Clint Gutherson found himself sin-binned for holding Khan-Pereira back in a try-scoring situation and only 20 seconds later, David Fifita wrestled free of three defenders and offloaded to Foran.

The try was Foran's first in over a year but only two minutes later, the veteran had his second, dummying to beat Andrew Davey and Will Penisini in a brilliant individual effort.

Khan-Pereira twice bamboozled Gutherson to record his own double, first chipping and chasing past the fullback and then intercepting his pass to run 95 metres and score.

Eels winger Maika Sivo had the first four-pointer of the night after a Titans error in the ruck, and continued to haunt the Gold Coast defence as he moved into outright first on the try-scoring ladder with two more tries.

Brown had the Eels back within two points when he broke free and found Davey in the journeyman's first game since re-joining Parramatta last week.

But time favoured the Titans, who closed Magic Round out on a high.

"I just asked the team, 'How did we lose that?', because I felt like we did more than enough to win it," Arthur said.

"I thought our effort was really good, we did a lot of good things, more good things than bad.

"But a couple of big moments and a couple of system errors in defence hurt us."

The King and Queen Consort have made their first appearance of coronation day - travelling the short distance from their Clarence House home for final preparations at Buckingham Palace.

Crowds cheered as they caught sight of Charles and Camilla being driven in a state limousine between the royal residences.

They are due to leave the palace at 10.20am local time and travel in a procession to Westminster Abbey where first the King and then the Queen will be anointed and crowned by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby.

The Duke of York was also seen being driven down The Mall in a state car, with parts of the crowd booing as he went past.

Celebrity guests have begun arriving at Westminster Abbey for the King's coronation as thousands flocked to the capital to share in the historic day.

Actress Emma Thompson, musicians Lionel Richie, Australian Nick Cave and a cheery-looking Ant and Dec, in their smart morning suits, were photographed entering the place of worship.

Inside the ancient abbey, the church buzzed with noise as the congregation filed in and took their seats hours before the ceremony was due to start.

Crowds had been building up in the capital since dawn with the streets around the procession route - including Trafalgar Square, Whitehall and Parliament Square - thronged with people.

As anticipation mounted among royal fans, a group of republicans were arrested more than four hours before the coronation service began.

The King will be crowned during a coronation ceremony dating back centuries.

Cries of God Save the King will ring out around the abbey after St Edward's Crown is placed on Charles' head by Mr Welby.

The senior cleric said in a statement issued on the eve of the coronation that the ceremony served as "a powerful reflection and celebration of who we are today, in all our wonderful diversity".

He said people will be struck by the "majesty and sacred wonder" of the service, but also hoped they would find "ancient wisdom and new hope".

The event will bring together around 100 heads of state, kings and queens from across the globe, celebrities, everyday heroes and family and friends of the couple, with Charles' estranged son Harry expected to attend.

Invited guests include David and Victoria Beckham, French President Emmanuel Macron, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and US First Lady Jill Biden but her husband President Joe Biden will not be attending.

The day will be a display of pomp and pageantry, with the nation's army promising a "spectacular" event when the King and Queen process through the streets of the capital.

The event is the military's largest ceremonial operation since Queen Elizabeth II's 1953 coronation, with 9000 servicemen and women deployed and 7000 of these performing ceremonial and supporting roles.
