King Charles and Queen Camilla have released a statement just hours after their official crowning and as a second day of celebrations begins.
The newly crowned King and Queen sent their best wishes to all of those celebrating with street parties and big lunch parties today.
Taking to Instagram, they said: "Whether this is your first ever Big Lunch or whether it is an annual part of your local calendar, we send our warmest good wishes to each one of you, and all those who will be with you, at what we hope will be a truly enjoyable event for everyone."
Thousands of people across the country will celebrate the Coronation Big Lunch today to celebrate the crowning of the King, causing a buzz of excitement for organisers.
A palace spokeswoman said big lunches will take place from Saturday to Monday "in a nationwide act of celebration and friendship".
Alongside the thousands of street parties expected to be held at the weekend, people are encouraged to come together across the country for the Coronation Big Lunch.
Sophie and Edward, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh will attend a big lunch in Cranleigh, the Princess Royal and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence will visit a community street party in Swindon, and Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie will join a big lunch in Windsor.
Buckingham Palace said the Big Help Out on Monday will "highlight the positive impact volunteering has on communities across the nation".
A palace spokesperson said: "In tribute to the King’s public service, it will encourage people to try volunteering, and join the work being undertaken to support their local areas.
"The aim of Big Help Out is to create a lasting volunteering legacy from the coronation weekend."
The palace said that while "wholly supportive" of the Big Help Out initiatives on Monday, Charles and Camilla will not be attending any of the events in person.
It comes after the newly crowned King and Queen set the seal on their Coronation day by twice appearing on Buckingham Palace’s balcony to acknowledge the nation.
Charles and Camilla, in lavish robes and wearing their crowns, returned with a wave the cheers of the crowds who braved downpours during a ceremonial military celebration not seen for 70 years.
The Prince and Princess of Wales and their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, joined the monarch and his wife and then well-wishers were treated to an encore with just the King and Queen.
Making their first balcony appearance of the King’s reign, the couple looked relaxed after the momentous coronation, watched around the globe.
The historic moment came a few minutes past midday, when the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby placed St Edward’s Crown on Charles’ head and he became the 40th reigning sovereign to be crowned at Westminster Abbey, the nation’s coronation church since 1066.
The coronation was a spiritual and deeply personal event for the King, a “committed Anglican Christian”, who was anointed, seen kneeling at the abbey’s high altar and received homage from his son and heir, the Prince of Wales.
