As the country gets ready to celebrate the coronation of King Charles lll in a sea of red, white and blue, preparations are also under way to erect big outdoor screens so that people can come together to watch the ceremony.
The big day is Saturday, May 6 when His Majesty the King will be crowned in Westminster Abbey, alongside Camilla as Her Majesty The Queen Consort in a service set to attract a worldwide TV audience. And the grand event will be screened live at various locations across the region for those keen to get out of the house and mingle with others to feel part of the historic occasion.
The big Bank Holiday weekend celebrations include the Coronation Concert at Windsor Castle on Sunday, with the likes of Katy Perry, Take That and Lionel Richie taking to the stage, and several locations are planning to screen this too.
