People across Greater Manchester came together to celebrate the Coronation - and have a right royal knees up
As King Charles was crowned at Westminster Abbey in London, people came together across Greater Manchester to celebrate the new monarch - and enjoy a party.
"It's lovely to have something like this in town," said mum Alisan Hogg, from Didsbury, who came to Manchester Cathedral with her partner and three young children. Some had simply been passing by but stopped to soak up the atmosphere, such as Kanwal Saba and her family, from Fallowfield. She said: "Everyone's celebrating, it's really, really nice - I'm very happy today."
She said: "It’s nice to get everyone together. My neighbour watched the Coronation and said they looked beautiful. It’s just an exciting time in history for everyone to be celebrating so we’ve all come together. Rain was forecast but the sun shone for most of the day which encouraged more and more people to head into the town centre to enjoy the festivities.
Even those who had no intention of watching today’s events stopped and watched before continuing their journey. Mum Kellie and her daughter Elizabeth came to watch the coronation in the town centre because there were no street parties where they live. Vicky Blackwell, who started organising the street party six weeks ago, told the MEN: "It made me proud to be British.
