Tyneside hosts King’s coronation street parties

Listen to our Highligts of The Coronation Weekend!

The boroughs across North Tyneside & South Tyneside celebrated the King’s coronation on Saturday and held events right across Tyneside. We were out and about across the towns.

King Charles III coronation took place on Saturday, May 6 and residents across the mouth of the Tyne celebrated the event with their neighbours over the weekend.

We went along to Readhead Park, in South Shields – The event was organised by South Tyneside Adult carers service and was supported by Asda, The Barbour Foundation and South Tyneside Council. We spoke with Monika the event organiser.

The station also made an appearance at Harton Village where hundreds from the community came along to mark this historic event. We spoke with Jayne who is the event manager from Harton Hub.
