King says nation's support 'greatest coronation gift' as official portraits released - Evening Standard

T

he King and Queen have called the nation’s support “the greatest possible coronation gift” as they release official portraits marking the end of the historic weekend.

Charles has issued a written message saying he and Camilla give their “most sincere and heartfelt thanks” to “countless people” who helped make coronation celebrations across the UK a success.

The newly-crowned King said he and Camilla have rededicated their lives “to serving the people of the United Kingdom, the Realms and Commonwealth”.

The King has been captured in his full regalia in traditional official portraits marking his crowning by Hugo Burnand. Camilla was pictured alongside the King and also in a solo portrait.

Meanwhile Prince Louis turned into a labourer as he joined Prince George, Princess Charlotte and the Prince and Princess of Wales by shovelling dirt and operating a digger as they helped out at a Scout Hut in Slough as part of the national volunteering drive to mark the coronation.

Women’s football team moves game due to bouncy castle on pitch

A women's football team arrived for their final home game of the season only to find a bouncy castle had been put up on it as part of coronation celebrations.

Colney Heath Ladies were meant to play their last home game against Bowers & Pitsea Ladies on Sunday, on a pitch they regularly use at Colney Heath FC, in the Hertfordshire village.

But players were surprised to find the bouncy castle on the pitch, which organisers refused to move.

Players had to play on a different pitch at the venue, which resulted in a "sour end" to their league campaign.

"We were aware of the fact that there was an event happening, but we didn't know that it would be to the effect that we wouldn't be able to use the pitch", a club spokesperson, who did not wish to be named, told the PA news agency.
