A number of street parties and events are due to take place in Leeds in honour of King Charles III's coronation on May 6.
The ceremony will take place at 11am at Westminster Abbey in London, and will be conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury. His Majesty will be crowned alongside The Queen Consort, Camilla, to whom he has been married since 2005.
Tens of thousands of people are expected to line the streets along The Mall and Whitehall and authorities have already warned of large crowds. Numerous parks and function halls across the country will be screening the ceremony live for those who cannot watch the royal procession in person.
