Crowds braved the rain as Evesham celebrated the Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla.

Ahead of the ceremony, which was screened in Market Square, a parade passed through the town.

Bagpipers, civil leaders and local scouting groups joined in as the procession made its way from St Lawrence’s Church.

The Market Square was decorated with posters created by local residents as part of a competition organised by Evesham Town Council.

Mayor of Evesham, councillor Mark Goodge, said: “Obviously we're disappointed that the weather wasn't kind to us, but we still had a good turnout for the parade and enough people braved the rain to make the big screen worthwhile.

“And the family activities in the Town Hall were very busy all day.

“It was also a real privilege to be able to award certificates to the winners of the poster competition, with the posters themselves displayed in the Market Square all weekend.”
