In pictures: Hucknall and Bulwell celebrates the Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla

The nation came together to witness history at the weekend as King Charles III and Queen Camilla were crowned at Westminster Abbey.

Despite the wet weather, nothing dampened the mood of celebration across the country as Britain put on a display of pomp and ceremony that it does best.

Across the country, people held street parties and towns held big community events for everyone to come along to and join in the celebrations.

Hucknall was centre stage for Ashfield as the council held it’s main big public celebration event at Titchfield Park where everyone was able to watch the Coronation service on the big screen – all waving their flags whilst they witnessed the landmark occasion – followed by a screening of the family film Paddington 2.

Entertainment also included face painting, balloon models, inflatable slides and bouncy castles, a walkabout prince and princess, and a bustling market village with 45 stalls.

Elsewhere, people held their own street parties and events as everyone joined in the mood of celebration.

Coun Lee Waters (Ash Ind), who represents Hucknall Central on the council, said: “It was fantastic to see so many residents come to Hucknall to celebrate the Coronation as one community.”

Here are some great pictures from the day...
