Buckingham Palace sandcastle bucket made to celebrate King's coronation

A sandcastle replica of Buckingham Palace has been made to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III. EasyJet created the sculpture after commissioning a one-of-a-kind bucket in the shape of the stately home.

The replica palace is 3ft wide, 0.8ft tall and contains between 3kg and 4kg of sand. It was tested out by nine-year-old Levi Babin, who was given miniature figurines of Charles and Camilla so he could play with the castle on West Wittering beach.

Garry Wilson, CEO of easyJet Holidays, said: "With so many Brits keen to celebrate the Coronation whilst on holiday either from beaches, swimming pools or resort bars we wanted to create our very own tribute to King Charles III by immortalizing his official London residence Buckingham Palace out of sand. We are thrilled that little Levi was given the opportunity to test our new prototype sandcastle bucket on West Wittering beach and we can’t wait to see how our customers who will be on holiday this weekend embrace the festivities around the coronation."
