King Charles III’s Coronation event in Beverley Minster

On Saturday May 6th King Charles III was crowned as the new King of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.

Like many millions of people around the world I watched the crowning of the new king on television. The following Monday 8th May saw the Mayor of Beverley and I attend the event in Beverley Minster which was organised by the Minster, local charities, East Riding Council and Beverley Town Council.
