Situation - Chipping Campden is one of the best known Cotswold towns set at the northern end of the Cotswold Hills, famous for its High Street and mixture of fine old houses and buildings.

There are bus services and the area is well known for its accessibility to a number of important regional centres. The town is also well served with numerous clubs and societies, ranging from sports to social activities and creative arts festivals.

Twenty hire bikes in TfL’s Santander Cycles scheme will also feature special wraps to mark the coronation. The palace said the centrepiece of the coronation concert, dubbed “lighting up the nation”, will see the country join together in celebration as landmarks across the UK are lit up using projections, lasers, drone displays and illuminations. We haven’t had the best history after that little war”, he joked, referring to the American Revolution, “but people still like the history. The theatre of it, the pomp and the circumstance.” Publicviewing areas will open along the main procession route, down the Mall and through Whitehall.

Moments of tenderness - such as The Piano star Lucy's rendition of Bach - were balanced by storming sets from Lionel Richie and Katy Perry. Even Princess Charlotte was singing along. This was history in the making - and you had to pinch yourself to think you were seeing it close-up, inside Westminster Abbey. Some roads in Westminster will be closed, affecting several bus routes. Five London buses will also feature commemorative wraps on routes serving locations linked to the royal family, such as Horse Guards Parade and Hyde Park. In the procession into Westminster Abbey, faith leaders and representatives went first followed by governors-general, prime ministers and flag bearers from each of the 15 realms where the King is head of state. The centrepiece of the Coronation Concert, ‘Lighting up the Nation’, will see the country join together in celebration as iconic locations across the United Kingdom are lit up using projections, lasers, drone displays and illuminations.

One of the highlights of this property is its expansive garden, which can be accessed through the kitchen or via the double doors in the dining room. Spanning approximately 100 feet, the garden provides a serene outdoor space for various activities. The well-maintained patio area is perfect for hosting gatherings with friends and family, offering a picturesque setting for al fresco dining or simply enjoying the outdoors.

Attended by a public audience including volunteers from The King and The Queen Consort’s many charity affiliations, the concert will see a world-class orchestra play interpretations of musical favourites fronted by some of the world’s biggest entertainers, alongside performers from the world of dance. The performances will be supported by staging and effects located on the Castle’s East Lawn and will also feature a selection of spoken word sequences delivered by stars of stage and screen. The variety of the line-up and the fact that most acts were limited to one song, meant the show remained engaging and kept its momentum throughout. Waiters rushed platters of tea, sandwiches and crumpets from the kitchen to customers seated outside, as TV screens broadcast the Coronation in full.There’s a lot to be discussed and I really hope that they can – that they are willing to sit down and talk about it, because there’s a lot that’s happened in six years.
