Whether you're a prince or the prime minister, it's been a day for rolling up your sleeves and entering the spirit of the Big Help Out today.

Senior royals and the PM have been part of an army of volunteers nationwide, making life in their neighbourhoods brighter.

We've seen the Prince and Princess of Wales with their three children, all helping out with renovations at a Scout Association hut in Slough.

The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh visited a pop-in Coronation Cafe in Berkshire, where trainee guide dogs were being put through their paces.

Rishi Sunak helped prepare and serve lunch for the elderly at a lunch club in Hertfordshire, saying "it's a community spirit like this that binds our country together."

Asked about the anti-monarchy arrests at the weekend, he said the police are independent of the government, and make decisions based on what they think is best.

Scotland's First Minister Humza Yousaf has expressed his hope that Coronation costs were "kept to an absolute minimum" at a time when many are struggling.

The SNP leader visited a Big Help Out event at a food bank in Dundee and told reporters he felt it was his "duty" to attend the Coronation as his role is to govern for "all of Scotland".

But Yousaf, an outspoken Republican, added: “I think most people watching, whether they’re republicans or whether they’re monarchists, would want the costs kept to a minimum."

Commenting on the expense of the Coronation during the cost-of-living crisis, estimated to be about £100 million, he added: "Yes, I think a number of folk will have felt uncomfortable with the costs that were involved.”

Two days ago the Archbishop of Canterbury crowned King Charles III. As the head of Church of England he has been heavily involved in the Coronation activities.

The Archbishop's office say the they were delighted to see the King and Queen's "joyful and inspiring" Coronation service.

A spokesperson for Lambeth Palace added that the archbishop "loved" spending time with communities throughout the weekend's events and today's Big Help Out lunch for the homeless.

In a statement, King Charles said: "To know that we have your support and encouragement, and to witness your kindness expressed in so many different ways, has been the greatest possible Coronation gift, as we now rededicate our lives to serving the people of the United Kingdom, the Realms and the Commonwealth."

Queen Camilla, who was also crowned by the Archbishop of Canterbury, was pictured alongside the King wearing Queen Mary's Crown and in a solo portrait.

Singers who performed for the King in recent days have spoken about their experiences.

Schoolgirls from Northern Ireland who sang during Saturday's Coronation service described it as an unforgettable experience.

Seven pupils from Methodist College in Belfast performed alongside the choirs of Westminster Abbey on Saturday. "It's something we will tell our grandchildren," one of the singers, Emily, told the BBC.

The girls rehearsed up to three times a day, while revising for AS and A-levels.

And members of Hull NHS Choir have described the "awe-inspiring" experience of singing for the King as part of yesterday's Coronation Concert.

One of the group, Lucy Vere, told us the event was "just phenomenal". Colleague Stuart Cutts said the "camaraderie" between different choirs from around the country was "amazing".

The event had a peak viewership of 12.3 million, BBC figures show.

Amanda Aarons of the Ukulymies ukulele band based in Newcastle under Lyme, Staffordshire has got in touch with us.

She says: "We performed five concerts in three days this weekend at two care homes, a pub, a community party and finally for the Newcastle and District Welfare for the Blind Association - phew!

"Seeing our pic included in your montage would be the icing on the Coronation cake."

Well Amanda, that sounds like a good deal to us... if you save us a slice of that cake!

A police officer has followed in his father's footsteps by serving as a route liner during the Coronation on Saturday.

Sgt Jonathan Simpson was one of three South Yorkshire Police officers selected for the role.

His late father had fulfilled the same function for the Coronation of Elizabeth II in 1953.

Another of the stars of the Coronation has got involved with volunteering today.

As part of the Big Help Out drive, Archbishop of Canterbury served lunch at the Catching Lives Open Centre - a charity for homeless people.

Alongside his wife Caroline, the Archbishop handed over plates of cottage pie while working in the kitchen.

He wore a denim apron emblazoned with the name of US rock band Bon Jovi.

More of you have been sending in your efforts from today's Big Help Out - so let's bring you one of them from the West Midlands.

Volunteers joined Dudley Canal and Caverns members on a boat trawling the water for rubbish from the region's waters.

Ian Bennett feels it is important to give something back to the community, adding they needed volunteers throughout the year.

"The canals are our bread and butter," he tells us. "We've got a real passion for them in Dudley."

Over in Ironbridge, Shropshire, guests at a youth hostel joined people from the town to litter-pick on a stretch of the River Severn.

Jamie Wakefield explains they want to keep the wildlife and river ecosystem healthy, saying it only takes "one piece of litter to be eaten by a bird".

Many people have been picking up litter from various parts of the country as part of the Big Help Out - but we think we might have found some of the most unusual items seen today…

Janet Samuel, 70, has been planting flowers and tidying up green spaces in Burgess Hill, West Sussex.

The group pulled three chairs and two shopping trolleys from a pond in Burgess Hill today.

Janet, a guides leader, said: “We are looking for volunteers ourselves, but we also wanted to show that at Girlguiding, part of our ethos is helping our community, which is what we were doing today.

“We had volunteers and family members, everybody was really excited to get involved.

“Yesterday we were thinking, do we really want to go out in the rain? But I’ve come home thinking I’m so glad we did it.””

From sand sculptures to knitting, some of you have been marking the Coronation in unique ways. Here are some of our favourites.

The involvement of Prince Louis in today's nationwide volunteering drive has got many of you searching for facts about the young royal.

• Age five: Prince Louis of Wales (to give him his full title) was born on 23 April 2018, at St Mary's Hospital in London
• Fourth in line to the throne: Prince Louis is the grandson of King Charles III, and comes after his father Prince William and his elder siblings George and Charlotte in the line of royal succession. That puts him ahead of Prince Harry
• Lives on the Windsor estate: His parents William and Kate, the Prince and Princess of Wales, moved their family to Adelaide Cottage on the royal Windsor Estate last year. With his siblings, he goes to Lambrook School
• Starring role on Saturday: Louis was considered too young to attend the funeral of his great-grandmother Elizabeth II. But he was present for Saturday's Coronation of his grandfather, King Charles III. He was pictured pointing things out to his sister - and was able to take a break before the National Anthem

The Prince of Wales tells volunteers "You've made his day" as Louis chomps on the gooey treat with glee.

In Poole, this hardy duo braved the weather to help spruce up the beauty spot on their doorstep.

Marjo Reid and Sister Bray have been out litter picking along Holes Bay, a haven for wetland birds.

They were joined by fellow members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Have a look at this - quite an effort!

As we near the end of Coronation weekend, a question still being searched (but to which no official answer has been given) is how much the Coronation has cost in public spending.

The government said it wouldn’t reveal a figure until afterwards – and that will still depend on what is included, such as the security operation.

But there’s also an expected boost in tourism and leisure income that might counter-balance the cost.

The questions about cost tap into the scepticism of those who have not welcomed the Coronation and have made their opposition increasingly vocal.

Reporting from Wembley

Plenty of activities have been taking place in King Edward VII park in Wembley with kids enjoying a climbing wall, axe throwing as well as learning about volunteering from a young age.

Rania Gonem, who is an assistant team leader with the local scout association, has been encouraging people of all ages to volunteer.

"Initially I heard about the scouts and I wanted my kids to join," Rania tells me.

"Then I heard they wanted adult volunteers, and I gave it a go and was hooked from the start.

"I think volunteering is very beneficial, very fulfilling and very good for people's mental health to give something back to the community.

"It doesn't have to be scouts, it could be any volunteer organisation."

Up to County Durham now, where a former Age UK customer has turned volunteer for the first time today.

Retired civil servant Brian Cooper, 62, says he was inspired to get involved by the Big Help Out.

He said: "I’ve been a customer here and was able to set up my new home with the things they sell.

"It’s a great volunteering community and I wanted to be a part of that.

"I’m a people person so will be looking to help out here in the superstore, or in one of the other shops."

The charity has helped about 7,000 people aged over 50 around Durham in the last year.

It’s been “a great day volunteering” at the heritage Cholsey and Wallingford Railway in Oxfordshire, Mark Savery tells the BBC.

Mark, who is running the ticket office, says they have had "lots of paying passengers today and plenty of people looking at getting involved in the future as we improve the station."

Mark says the original station was knocked down in the 1960s when the line was closed.

The railway is now entirely run by volunteers who have roles including running the trains, keeping the station today and selling tickets and refreshments.
