The ascension of Charles III to the throne will be formally proclaimed in Bristol in an ancient ceremony which will take place in the city centre on Sunday (September 11).
The ceremony, known as The Proclamation, has taken place in Bristol for every new monarch of England, Great Britain and the United Kingdom dating at least as far back as when Bristol was given city and county status in the 13th century.
The event is open to the public to attend, and roads around the venue on College Green will be closed for the whole of Sunday. A city council spokesperson confirmed the proclamation as the 'official declaration of the ascension of the new Monarch', and said it will take place on Sunday 11 September at 1pm, on College Green.
