Stockport is set to celebrate King Charles III coronation in style with street parties being held across the borough. To date, patriotic residents have lodged nearly 70 applications for road-closure street parties with the council. Knees ups are taking place everywhere from the Heatons, Bramhall and Cheadle to Romiley, Offerton and Hazel Grove.
King Charles III’s coronation will take place on Saturday, May 6 with a service at Westminster Abbey. For most 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.
But it’s not just at street parties where the celebrations go with a swing. With less than two weeks to go until the historic ceremony, Stockport has plenty of events lined up to mark the occasion.
