'We're going to have a good old knees up'

Ady Dayman

Available for over a year

Millions of people across the UK and beyond are preparing to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III. The day of splendour and formality will feature customs dating back more than 1,000 years, with a symbolic ceremony combining a religious service and pageantry. Up and down the country, plans are being made by families and community groups to mark the occasion. Reporter Helen McCarthy has been to the New Snibstone Inn in Coalville, where every available inch of space - including the ceiling and the front of the pub - has been covered in coronation decorations.
