Cut out 5cm width bands from red, white and blue crepe paper – it’s much easier to do this if you keep the paper folded, then unfold it when you’ve finished cutting the strips. Use poster paint to write a message on your bunting, such as ‘Happy Wedding Day'. Leave to dry before using to decorate your street.

Draw and cut out a large diamond from a piece of A4 paper or card. Use this as a template to cut out diamonds from red, white and blue paper tablecloths. Alternate the coloured diamonds along a piece of string (this can be as long as you want to make your bunting) then fold the diamonds over the string to form triangles. Glue flat and leave to dry. When can we look forward to the coronation of the New King? The coronation service for King Charles III will be held on 6th May, in the spring/summer season of 2023. The event will be scheduled close to the 70th anniversary of the former Queen’s coronation in 1953. The royal coronation falling 70 years after Queen Elizabeth II was crowned will make the occasion even more special and significant for the people of Britain and the commonwealth countries, with events for the royal occasion taking place all over the world. A ceremony will be held to officially crown King Charles III the new monarch, the final event in his accession to the throne. A bank holiday in the UK is set to be announced for the state event in due course, giving us all a chance to get involved with this historic event and celebrate the coronation of the new King.
