Sunderland turned red, white and blue to mark the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla on Saturday, May 6 - and events aren’t over yet.

Friends and families gathered at big screens set up in communities across the city to watch the coronation together, while a variety of other events took place across Wearside.

Celebrations are due to continue throughout the weekend, with ‘Coronation Big Lunch’ events and other activities taking place on Sunday and Monday, as well as ‘Big Help Out’ community projects on bank holiday Monday.
