All around Northern Ireland people attended events to mark the Coronation of King Charles III and thankfully the Province was treated to better weather than was experienced in London.

A very well attended street party took place on the Sandy Row in Belfast while a very successful Coronation Big Lunch was hosted at the Highway Inn bar and kitchen in Lisburn. The foods of the Commonwealth for the event provided by Resurgam Trust.

There were big-screen broadcasts of the Coronation in People’s Park, Ballymena, Town Park in Larne, and Marine Gardens in Carrickfergus.

Locals pulled-up their seats and delved into their picnics while watching this amazing moment in history on the large screens. It was accompanied by a wide range of fun, family activities taking place throughout the day.
