Cornwall celebrates King's Coronation

People across Cornwall have been celebrating the Coronation of King Charles III on Saturday.

Big screens were available in a number of places including Truro, Newquay, Padstow and Bodmin and many communities have hosted parties.

The ceremony took place at Westminster Abbey in London earlier in the day.

Watching proceedings on a big screen in Newquay, veteran Andy Card said: "It's pride, we'll always be soldiers - we've got a new boss - we had to be here."

Jacky travelled from Bristol to watch the event on a big screen on Smeaton's Pier in St Ives because "it's beautiful here - what a place to watch the Coronation".

Church bells have been rung from many parishes to mark the occasion.

At St Cleer, near Liskeard, a team of six rung a special peal with 74 changes to reflect the King's age.

The Eden Project, near St Austell, hosted a celebratory lunch, with a big screen showing the ceremony, along with motivational speakers and live music.

In Truro there was a big screen in the cathedral and a celebratory market street-party event on Lemon Quay.

The Lost Gardens of Heligan also showed the ceremony, followed by live music and a menu inspired by different parts of the Commonwealth.
