Over 50 volunteers groups in County Fermanagh will mark the coronation of King Charles III with a celebratory event on Monday's bank holiday.
‘The Big Community Paddle, Picnic and Volunteer Village’ is planned for Enniskillen Castle from 11am-5pm on Monday May 8.
The event is open to the public and will form part of the festivities that have been planned across the UK.

Local volunteers from health, heritage, sport, youth, music and wellbeing groups will be readily available to explain the support and services that they provide.
The plans also include traditional cookery and heritage demonstrations, free children’s craft activities, ceramic painting and clay modelling, face painting, balloon modelling and climbing walls among others.
There will be live music and entertainment throughout the day, with admission free to Enniskillen Castle Museums.
The RNLI is also providing people with the opportunity to paddle a canoe, kayak, or paddle board in the area, with registration needed in advance.
The event is tying in with ‘The Big Help Out’ and ‘The Coronation Big Lunch’, two UK-wide campaigns marking the King’s forthcoming coronation.
BBC Radio Ulster will be broadcasting from location on the day, while Royal Highland Dancers also provide entertainment.
Noelle Mc Alinden, High Sheriff of County Fermanagh said: "This is an excellent opportunity for Fermanagh to promote a culture of volunteering, collaboration and communities working together, celebrating the people, their talents and this unique place on this special day.
"A very warm welcome is extended to all ages & stages in life."
