Earls Barton takes to The Square to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III

People braved the elements in Earls Barton’s Square to mark the May 6 coronation of King Charles III.

Hosted by The Saxon Tavern, the party began at 3pm and included face painting, a live singer and a BBQ lunch as people gathered in the centre of the village to enjoy the festivities.

The rain tried its best to deter people from enjoying the afternoon, but attendees’ eagerness to rejoice in the crowning of the new monarch prevailed. Brollies were aplenty, both in Earls Barton and on the Mall in London, but the blitz spirit of local Britons was enough to make the street party in Earls Barton a relative success.
