Streets across the region turn red, white blue and royal purple as the coronation approaches
People across the East Midlands are celebrating the coronation in a blaze of colour by decorating their streets and businesses.
Knitted displays of red, white, blue and royal purple have been popping up on postboxes as the country prepares for King Charles III to be crowned on Saturday 6 May.The mysterious Syston Knitting Banxy has been brightening up the Leicestershire town with an eye-catching creation. The anonymous knitter said her 61st postbox topper to date sees King Charles sat on a woolly version of the ancient Coronation chair, commissioned by Edward I in 1296.
She said: "The gold cloak worn by the woolly king represents the Robe Royal, and has the national emblems embroidered onto it. "He wears the St Edward's Crown, which is covered in sparkling gems and gold beads, and is a smaller version of the crown I knitted for the jubilee last year."West Hallam, in Derbyshire, has also had its postbox crowned with a regal knitted coronation display.
