Wembley Park – London’s most exciting new neighbourhood – celebrated the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III in style today, with residents and visitors from the borough of Brent and beyond, coming together to welcome in the new monarch.
Huge Union Jack ceremonial banners lined Olympic Way – which has been temporarily renamed to its former name of ‘King’s Way’ for the month of May – with a giant screen showing the coronation processions and ceremony in front of Wembley Stadium.
A multi-cultural audience gathered early on Saturday 6th May as the free-to-attend street party unfolded despite the persistent rain. Many settled into deckchairs positioned in full view of the giant screen, while others explored the special family zone set up in the community-focused Samovar Space on ‘King’s Way’.
Children and adults alike were delighted by royally themed stilt walkers, balloon artists, magician Dan Alexander, face painters and other entertainers. Giant Jenga and other plus-size board games were also popular with families enjoying the neighbourhood-wide Coronation Celebration.
