People across the UK will be hosting Coronation events on 6, 7 and 8 May 2023 to mark the Coronation of King Charles III.

The Coronation itself takes place on Saturday, May 6, at Westminster Abbey, with the service beginning at 11am, while a weekend of celebrations will take place in the UK, including fairs, parades, street parties and official royal events.

A Lincolnshire County Council spokesperson confirmed that the authority had received applications for 51 street parties and 17 bigger events to be held by residents across the county, with 2 road closures and multiple events expected in Stamford.

A spokesperson for LCC confirmed said: "We're delighted so many people took the opportunity to apply for a street party.

"These events, combined with everything else going on in Lincs will hopefully ensure that the celebrations mark the occasion in the best possible way."
