King Charles III's Coronation is a monumental occasion for the whole country – and for many it will be the first event of its type they will experience.
On the weekend of May 6, people will be celebrating up and down the country. There will be street parties and other huge events – while others may just be marking the occasion from home, maybe while tucking into a homemade Coronation Quiche.
