Chris Tse is helping out at the event said it was great that the coronation was bringing people together:
“There’s definitely a big benefit,” he said.
“A chance to get to know each other as individuals and a chance to grow as a network and build important relationships.”
On Saturday well-wishers, many in fancy dress, gathered in Market Square for the Coronation.
In Atherstone, North Warwickshire Borough Council said a “fantastic time” was had by all at the Tots Clubhouse to mark the Coronation.
