About this deal

A big screen in Darlington Market Place will stream the ceremony live from Westminster Abbey, with families also invited to take part in craft sessions in marquee set up in the town centre. On Sunday, May 7, Darlington will host its own Coronation Concert with performances from Britain’s Got Talent's Soldiers of Swing and Discography. From street parties to craft workshops, concerts and live streams, there are multiple events going on across Teesside over the bank holiday weekend from Saturday, May 6 to Monday, May 8. The Coronation will see The King and Queen Consort officially be crowned at a historic service at Westminster Abbey, which is set to be watched by millions all over the world.

No high street names have announced special closures over the Bank Holiday weekend, unlike when many supermarkets and stores closed as a mark of respect on the day of Queen Elizabeth II's funeral. Due to being a bank holiday, shops may operate on different opening and closing hours, and each shop's times may differ. Next the King holds the sovereign’s orb, before it is returned to the altar and touches the sovereign’s ring, puts on the single white coronation glove to hold the sovereign’s sceptre with cross in his right hand, with sovereign’s sceptre with dove in his left, ready to be crowned. The Coronation Bouquet was made up of white flowers – comprising of orchids and lilies-of-the-valley from England, stephanotis from Scotland, orchids from Wales, and carnations from Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man. The Archbishop of Canterbury conducted the service, a duty which has been undertaken since the Conquest in 1066. For the first time in 1953, a representative of another Church, the Moderator of the Church of Scotland, also took part.

He is presented with the coronation bible and takes the oath, and then prays aloud with the King’s Prayer. A fanfare sounds. The Abbey bells ring for two minutes and a gun salute is fired by the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery stationed at Horse Guards Parade. Crowds have gathered in London on the day of the King's coronation while millions around the world will be watching on TV as Charles is crowned at Westminster Abbey alongside Queen Camilla.

Many people camped in The Mall to catch a glimpse of the procession, including a family who had sailed all the way from Australia in a ketch for the occasion. Thousands more celebrated throughout the country and the Commonwealth with street parties. On the day of the Coronation itself, The Hartlepool Guild of Bell Ringers will be ringing the bells at three churches as part of a nationwide Ring for The King event. The Guild, which is made up of both experienced and new Bell Ringers, will ring simultaneously at Stranton Church, St Aidan’s Church, in Oxford Road, and St Oswald’s Church, in Brougham Terrace from 10am until 10.45am. Middlesbrough Council has announced multiple community events taking place across the Bank Holiday weekend and beyond - from kid's parties to themed Coronation talks and museum exhibits. The recipe for the Anointing Oil contains oils of orange, roses, cinnamon, musk and ambergris. Usually a batch is made to last a few Coronations, but in May 1941 a bomb hit the Deanery destroying the phial, so a new batch was made.After the crown, the orb, also made in 1661, was the most important piece of regalia. It is a globe of gold surrounded by a cross girdled by a band of diamonds, emeralds, rubies, sapphire and pearls with a large amethyst at the summit. A string of famous faces have begun to arrive at the royal church, which held the previous UK coronation for Queen Elizabeth II in June 1953. Here are all the key timings of this historic day. The King will be crowned at midday in Westminster Abbey during a two-hour service. Here are all the key timings. Hartlepool also has multiple events taking place throughout the Coronation weekend. To mark the occasion Christchurch, in Church Square, will be illuminated in royal purple, the King’s cypher and union flag on Sunday evening

The archbishop pays homage, followed by the Prince of Wales's homage of royal blood, and then the new homage of the people takes place. The Queen is anointed with holy oil in full public view in her chair of estate. She touches the Queen Consort's ring. The Queen is crowned by the archbishop with Queen Mary's Crown. She touches the Queen Consort's sceptre with cross and the ivory Queen Consort's rod with dove. Camilla is then enthroned on her throne chair. Gun salutes at the Tower of London are fired by the Honourable Artillery Company, and at all saluting stations throughout the UK, Gibraltar, Bermuda, and ships at sea. After a blessing, the King is enthroned on his throne chair. Teessiders are set to join millions across the UK in celebrating the Coronation of King Charles III. On 24 June 1953, the Honours of Scotland (the crown, the sceptre and the sword) were carried before The Queen in a procession from the Palace of Holyroodhouse to St Giles Cathedral.

There is also a number of community get togethers taking place in and around Hartlepool. The Heugh Battery Museum at Hartlepool Headland is inviting people to join them for a giant community street party from 12pm until 4pm on Saturday, May 6, and Sunday, May 7. The Queen's Lord Lieutenants commissioned artist Terence Cuneo to paint the Coronation ceremony and in 1954 Herbert James Gunn painted a State Portrait of The Queen in her Coronation outfit.

Some people in the Abbey witnessed their fourth Coronation. Princess Marie Louise (Queen Victoria's granddaughter) had also seen the Coronations of King Edward VII (1902), King George V (1911) and King George VI (1937). On 2 June 1953, news reached that Edmund Hilary and Tenzing Norgay had made it to the summit of Mount Everest. The Queen presented the 14 members of the expedition with special edition Coronation medals with the extra wording 'Mount Everest Expedition'. The Queen Salote of Tonga won the hearts of the waiting crowds by refusing to raise the roof of her carriage for protection despite the rain. The Sovereign's procession was made up of 250 people including Church leaders, Commonwealth Prime Ministers, members of the Royal Household, civil and military leaders and the Yeoman of the Guard.The principal decorations for the processional route were in The Mall where there were four twin-spanned arches of tubular steel that were illuminated at night. The arches were lifted into place by giant mobile cranes. Linking the arches down the route were the long lines of standards mounted with golden crowns and each hung with four scarlet banners bearing the Royal Monogram. According to The Mirror, Asda is offering workers an extra paid day off to mark the Coronation of King Charles, if they are taking part in The Big Help Out volunteering event; a national scheme encouraging the public to get out in their communities and take part in a variety of different voluntary events. Will transport be affected? Gun salutes at the Tower of London are fired by the Honourable Artillery Company, and at all saluting stations throughout the UK, Gibraltar, Bermuda, and ships at sea.
