This bank holiday Monday doesn't signal the end of the royal celebrations, as volunteering programme the Big Help Out will launch across the UK to mark the King's coronation
Festivities will continue today to celebrate the King's Coronation with the Big Help Out volunteering event.
The Big Help Out day is organised by The Together Coalition and partners such as The Scouts, the Royal Voluntary Service and faith groups from across the United Kingdom. It will highlight the positive impact volunteering has on communities and will encourage people to try volunteering for themselves to create a lasting legacy.
An app has been created to allow people to search for volunteering opportunities, ranging from helping the elderly to working with environmental charities and supporting animal welfare. On Sunday night, Charles and Camilla attended a star-studded coronation concert at Windsor Castle featuring actors, singers and entertainers – and Kermit the Frog who managed to gatecrash the royal box.
The concert, hosted by Downton Abbey actor Hugh Bonneville, saw the King’s life celebrated, from his service in the Armed Forces to his passion for the arts and his charitable work.Hugh Jackman and Pierce Brosnan, former Strictly Come Dancing dancer Oti Mabuse and adventurer Bear Grylls. The King’s lifelong connection to the skies was also marked in Bedford on Sunday with the de Havilland Chipmunk WP903 in which he learned to fly in 1969 taking part in the King and Country Air Show at Shuttleworth aerodrome.
