Greater Manchester is preparing to celebrate the Coronation of King Charles III in style with hundreds of street parties being held across the city region.
Manchester residents have submitted a number of applications for road-closure street parties, with more than 52 roads closed for street parties celebrating the coronation over the weekend.
King Charles III’s coronation will take place on Saturday, May 6 with a service at Westminster Abbey. For many, it will be the first time they have witnessed the coronation of a British monarch - the late Queen Elizabeth II having been crowned nearly 70 years ago.
