Alongside the thousands of smaller street parties expected to be held at the weekend, people are encouraged to come together across the country for the Coronation Big Lunch. 'We expect 4,000 people to join us tomorrow for Houghton-le-Spring's Coronation Big Lunch and the whole town is buzzing with excitement.' Politicians also got involved with the Big Lunch on Sunday, with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak hosting his own event at No.10 Downing Street. Pictures of Coronation Big Lunch preparations have shown bunting-full set-ups, with tables lined with cakes, scones and quiches. The Coronation Concert will be broadcast on BBC One, BBC iPlayer, BBC Radio 2 and BBC Sounds from 8pm.
