Royal fans from all over the North East - and the world - congregated in Newcastle's Times Square to watch King Charles' coronation.
The new King was crowned, anointed and vowed to protect the realm during his reign - and the ceremony was warmly welcomed by monarchists in Newcastle. Though nearby demonstrators at Monument shouted "not my King", in Times Square people embraced a "once-in-a-generation occasion".
And following the event, street parties in neighbourhoods around the city saw communities come together to mark the occasion and share in a moment of national history. While in London, thousands lined the Mall and dignitaries donned their finery, in Newcastle many wore paper crowns and toasted the Royal Family.
