All the Wirral roads closed as people prepare to celebrate King's coronation

More than 70 streets across the Wirral will close as people celebrate the coronation of King Charles III.

The historic ceremony will take place on Saturday, May 6, at Westminster Abbey in London, almost nine months after he became King following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

Queen Consort Camilla will also be crowned following the main coronation ceremony and will be the first coronation to take place in the UK in almost 70 years.
