The coronation will be broadcast live on a big screen in the grounds of Knaresborough House on Saturday, May 6.

Knaresborough Town Council announced today it had secured access to a locally sourced LED screen for what it hopes will be a joyful day of picnics and celebration.

Besides showing the ceremony at Westminster Abbey, the free event will also include the broadcast of two family films.

Town councillor James Pickard, chair of the council’s king’s coronation working group, said:

“We are looking forward to welcoming the Knaresborough community and visitors alike to share this once in a lifetime event.  It’s not often we get to see a king crowned.
"We hope the day will be a relaxed event where people can simply come and soak up the atmosphere whilst watching the ceremony.
"We plan to extend the day by showing two family films throughout the afternoon. This will be a free local event for the entire community to enjoy."


Cllr Pickard added the grounds were a natural theatre with scope for catering for large crowds throughout the day, from 10am to 5pm.

He added people were welcome to bring picnics but food and refreshment stalls would also be available.

"The event will give everyone the opportunity to have a memorable experience to mark this exciting and historic event.”
