The King and Queen sent a cheerful message to street partygoers on Sunday. 

Their Majesties, freshly crowned, told the thousands of Coronation revellers attending celebratory street parties: “Whether this is your first ever Big Lunch or whether it is an annual part of your local calendar, we send our warmest good wishes to each one of you, and all those who will be with you, at what we hope will be a truly enjoyable event for everyone.”
