Inside the proud British towns that have pulled out all the stops for the King’s coronation – is your town among them?

THE whole country is going Coronation crazy.

It’s just over two weeks until King Charles III is crowned, but Britain is already in the grip of a red, white and blue frenzy.

Miles of bunting has gone up in towns and villages, shops have redesigned their windows in honour of the big day and families are gearing up for street parties.

Around 300million people are expected to tune in to watch the investiture of the King and Queen Camilla on Saturday, May 6.

And across the UK, hundreds of thousands will join in for the following day’s Big Lunch, staging royal knees-ups with families, friends and neighbours.

Local councils are giving organisers permission to close roads and hang patriotic decorations from street lamps.

And the extra Bank Holiday Monday, gifted by His Majesty, will give Britain a chance to get over its ­collective hangover.

We meet folk around the nation already getting in the party mood.
