The late Queen Elizabeth would be \u0022very proud\u0022 of King Charles on his coronation, his son William said on Sunday.
At a street party in Hackney, east London, local councilor Joe Walker said that the coronation had been a unifying force as the country recovers from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent economic turmoil.
