Knaresborough coronation event 'good for the town', say residents
Residents in Knaresborough have spoken of how a coronation event was much needed for the town.
Hundreds flocked to Knaresborough House today to celebrate King Charles III being coronated.

For Clare Robinson and Emma Jenner, of Community Stars CIC, the event was much needed for family and friends in the town.
The pair hosted a bakery and sandwich stall at Knaresborough House.
