MEMBERS of the public and community organisations across the UK have been invited to share how they will celebrate the King's Coronation on an interactive map. 

The public will be able to share events they are hosting over the Coronation weekend from Saturday May 6 to Monday May 8 so others in the local community can find out what is happening and get involved.

Hosted on the government’s Coronation website, the map showcases a variety of ways people can mark the occasion in their local areas.

Up and down the country, people plan to host street parties and Coronation big lunches. 

Going by the map at the moment (March 7), one street party has been arranged in Cumbria.

Whilst there will undoubtedly be more events to come, members of the public have been urged to add their special occasion onto the map.

Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer said: "We want everyone up and down the country to have the opportunity to get involved in the Coronation of His Majesty The King and Her Majesty The Queen Consort.

"Our interactive map will help you find activities, events and celebrations nearby. Whether you’re hosting a street party, planning a Big Lunch, a screening or activity for the Big Help Out, we want to hear from you.

"This is a fantastic occasion to come together with friends, family and your local community to mark this historic moment," they said.
