Two volunteers from Cardiff have been named among the Queen Consort's Coronation Champions, beating thousands of nominees for the prestigious award. Molly Fenton, a period poverty campaigner, and Samia Egeh, co-founder of Grangetown-based youth organisation United2Change, are among 500 of the nation's most dedicated volunteers rewarded by King Charles and Queen consort Camilla as part of their official coronation celebrations.
A call-out to the nation saw almost 5000 entries submitted, with nominees' ages ranging from 14 to 103. All champions have been invited to attend one of the official Coronation celebrations, such as the Windsor Castle Coronation Concert or a Coronation Garden Party. They will also receive a specially designed official Coronation Champions pin and a certificate signed by Their Majesties.
Molly will attend the Coronation Garden party at Buckingham Palace and Samia will go to the Coronation Concert at Windsor Castle.
