People across Huntingdonshire came together on May 6 and 7 to watch King Charles III and Queen Camilla crowned and enjoy picnics. 

There was an outside live screening on St Neots Market Square on Saturday, which was well attended, despite some heavy downpours.

The event included a 'make a crown' stall, food and drink and a stage for live entertainment, once the royal proceedings were concluded.

Mayor of St Neots, Cllr Ben Pitt, said: "The turnout today is brilliant and it wouldn't be possible without this huge Market Square. It is wonderful to see all the red, white and blue, hats and crowns and bunting on this most historically significant occasion."

"The crown, which is probably the largest of its kind in the world stands directly in front of the statue of Oliver Cromwell, a man not renowned for enjoying a party," said John Souter.

There was also a town picnic in Market Hill on Sunday.
