Hundreds turn out in the sun for Sandwell Valley Big Picnic Lunch
Hundreds of jubilant residents sat down for a Big Picnic Lunch in the Black Country to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III.
Black Country residents flocked to Sandwell Valley Park, on Salters Lane, West Bromwich on Sunday to enjoy the sun for the Coronation Big Lunch.
Big screens steamed the Coronation Concert live as hundreds enjoyed picnic food, sun and no end of coronation-themed activities.
Laura Whitehouse, from Walsall, said: "Its brilliant to be here honestly. I've never had so many people here at one time, the weather is lovely and all the kids are having an amazing time.
"I'm not exactly a royalist if I'm honest, but it's lovely to have everyone here together and see them playing."
The event started at 4pm, with dozens of families turning up earlier in the day to eat, play and dance to celebrate the special occasion.
Visitors also got the chance to enjoy dozens of food vendors, fair rides and children's activities as the big screens televised the Coronation Concert.
Lee Price, from Tipton, said: "It lovely to be able to get all the family together and celebrate the coronation, the weather helps as well, it's lovely.
"This is a nice big place and we don't need to travel far, it's a great opportunity to get the family and friends together. We have had a lot of negativity lately. It's lovely to do this."
