Killjoy councils crackdown on 'illegal picnics' and bunting for Coronation

Councils are launching a crackdown on 'unauthorised picnics' in the park for the King's Coronation as residents are told they need to fill out paperwork before they plan celebrations.

Members of the public hoping to mark the historic occasion outdoors on May 6 will need to apply for advance permission in many areas, with North Somerset Council requiring a nine-page form and a risk assessment.

Proclaimers song withdrawn from Coronation playlist

The Proclaimers' most iconic song have been withdrawn from King Charles' Coronation official playlist due to the rock duo's anti-royal views.

King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla will be crowned together at Westminster Abbey on Saturday, May 6 in the historic ceremony which will be conducted by Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby. Other artists such as Queen, David Bowie, The Beatles, and Tom Jones also feature in the Coronation compilation, but The Proclaimers' track will no longer be heard after officials learned of their beliefs.

12 days to go until the King's coronation

The King's coronation will take place on May 6, in a ceremony steeped in 1,000 years of history.

Charles will be crowned with the historic St Edward's Crown - the same one his mother, Queen Elizabeth, was crowned with.

Jewels will be centre stage on the big day - the sacred Coronation Regalia, including the Sovereign's Sceptre with Cross, the Sovereign's Orb, and the Coronation Spoon will be brought to Westminster Abbey from the Tower of London - but the royals are also expected to wear lavish outfits.
