Cornwall celebrates King's Coronation

People gathered in Newquay to watch the ceremony on a big screen

People across Cornwall have been celebrating the Coronation of King Charles III on Saturday.

Big screens were available in a number of places including Truro, Newquay, Padstow and Bodmin and many communities have hosted parties.

The ceremony took place at Westminster Abbey in London earlier in the day.

Watching proceedings on a big screen in Newquay, veteran Andy Card said: "It's pride, we'll always be soldiers - we've got a new boss - we had to be here."
