Tesco customers left in stitches after shop marks King's Coronation with tampon display

King Charles' Coronation is now less than two weeks away, and shops up and down the high street are putting out their decorations and displays to celebrate the momentous occasion.

But shoppers at Tesco have been left in stitches at the supermarket's amusing coronation display, as they've decided to place an interesting feature in their health and beauty aisle - right by the sanitary products.

A shopper named June Lewis spotted the hilarious display at her local Tesco, which saw a large sign that reads "Let's celebrate the King's Coronation" next to shelves stocked full of tampons and sanitary pads.

Posting about the amusing find on social media, she quipped: "Menstruation for the Coronation."

Other shoppers couldn't stop laughing at Tesco's marketing mistake, with one person joking that it could be a sign of a new "King-sized" tampon range coming soon.

One wrote: "For a limited period only."

As another jok3e: "New king-sized range coming soon?"

And a third posted: "Not what's typically meant by 'bleeding for King and Country' but fair play."

When contacted for comment, a Tesco spokesperson told The Mirror: "We have Coronation signage through our stores. These products are not part of our Coronation range but we do have a great selection of food, drink and homeware for those looking to celebrate, including the Tesco Finest Coronation King Prawn sandwich, Finest Coronation Raspberry and Peach Bellini Trifle, and Coronation teapots, cake stands and mugs."

The sanitary product display isn't the first time Tesco has been involved in a hilarious coronation mix-up either, as last week, another shopper spotted a range of Nando's sauces in their local shop's coronation display.

At the time, the store said it happened during a "brief crossover" of changing products in the aisle.

Meanwhile, the King's Coronation - which takes place on May 6 - has been causing drama among those planning street parties for the occasion, as one woman recently fumed after her neighbour demanded to know why she hadn't RSVPed to the invite she was sent.

The woman claimed she was sent a leaflet in the post and discarded it because she wasn't interested in attending, but her neighbour turned up on her doorstep a few days later to call her "rude" for not at least telling him she wouldn't be able to make it.

As street parties are often casual affairs where people bring their own food, she didn't think she would need to RSVP, and was left confused by the situation.

But some commenters insisted it was wrong of her to not respond, as it would have been polite to just let her neighbour know that she wasn't coming.

One person said: "Would it have been so difficult to send a response though? I'd have replied with a yes or no, just out of politeness. It's no skin off my nose and would literally have taken seconds! Yes, I think you were rude to ignore the invitation."
