Daniel Leal/PACopyright: Daniel Leal/PA
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.

Coronation expense 'uncomfortable' during cost-of-living crisis - Scottish FM
BBCCopyright: BBC
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.”

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.

Cleaning up Dudley's canals - 'it's our bread and butter'
BBCCopyright: BBC
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".
Two trolleys and some chairs pulled from Burgess Hill waters

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.””

Four facts about Prince Louis
ReutersCopyright: Reuters
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
WATCH: Louis' delight at marshmallow sandwich with scouts

Orpington's world record attempt
Have a look at this - quite an effort!
PA MediaCopyright: PA Media
More than 500 people in south-east London have tried to set a world record for the "largest human image of a crown".
They're now submitting their evidence to Guinness World Records.
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.
'Volunteering is good for mental health'
Yetunde Yusuf
Reporting from Wembley
BBCCopyright: BBC
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

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

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.
