Royal superfan watches King's speech every day surrounded by Christmas decorations

A Royal superfan has claimed he watches the King's speech every day in his living room surrounded by Christmas decorations.

Andy Park sits down to watch His Majesty's address at 3pm on the dot - surrounded by the festive baubles and tinsel which he keeps up all year round. Now, the 59-year-old is looking forward to the King's upcoming coronation, and is planning to record the event on his DVD player so that he can watch it back whenever he likes, Hull Live reports.

Andy, from Melksham, Wiltshire, still enjoys the Queen's speeches too and chooses a different one each day to watch - and says her 1997 address is his favourite. He describes King Charles' first speech as 'very low' compared to his mother's, who made 69 Christmas broadcasts over the course of her reign. But he believes his lacklustre delivery was due to the "problems the family faced with Prince Harry and Prince Andrew".
