Picture special - Higham Ferrers Coronation Big Lunch - fun in the sun to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III

There were union flags aplenty as Higham Ferrers residents unfurled their table cloths and settled down for a picnic lunch in the Market Square.

Organised by Higham Ferrers Town Council, The Big Coronation Lunch saw families and friends share a celebratory meal with free entertainment.

After the rain of coronation day, clouds lifted and the sun shone on the proceedings.
