Street parties are being held throughout Nottinghamshire for the coronation
Organisers of a huge street party in Sutton say the King's Coronation has been a great chance to celebrate their "tight-knit" community. Celebrations have been taking place across Nottinghamshire to mark the historic occasion, though the day of the coronation service itself on Saturday saw some celebrations cancelled due to heavy rain.
She said: "We start talks with the council in February about shutting the road off, our decorations are handmade and we've got a jumble sale, bake sale and plant sale today - so there is a lot of work that goes into this. We all have our individual views on the monarchy, but we put those aside because today is really about celebrating our community.
Lynne Weston has lived on Redcliffe Street for 50 years and speaking about the party, she said: "You do find nowadays that a lot of people don't know their neighbours, so it's lovely to do things like this and you've got to credit Sam because she is so community-minded. We're trying to come up with more ideas like this now so that we don't lose this sense of community, we did this for the jubilee last year and that was really well attended.
