Celebrations to mark the Coronation of King Charles III were in full swing in Bury, with parties set to continue into tomorrow.

Residents of Swinton Crescent in Unsworth held their street party today. A long table stretched down the street with a gazebo and even "King Charles" came along to join in with the festivities.

Anne Bradbury, one of the organisers said: “We all get on so well on this street.

“We have Christmas dinners together. Last year we did a big party for the Platinum Jubilee and VE day when we all sat on our drives.

“We always have a good turnout and it’s always good.”

Another resident said: “At any big event we always get the street together. At Christmas we always get together for a meal and a disco. It’s a really great street to live on.”

Residents looked resplendent in crowns, Union Jack themed hats and royal outfits.
