As the nation prepares to mark the historic occasion of the King’s coronation this weekend, colleges up and down the country have put on royal displays of their own to celebrate Charles III’s accession to the throne.
And it didn’t come any more royal than at City of Wolverhampton College on Tuesday, where the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh joined students, staff and 100 guests from the community for a big lunch and indoor street party.
The royal couple spent around an hour chatting to guests and learners, before enjoying a musical showcase by performing arts students.
Louise Fall, deputy principal, said: “It was a really exciting day and a fantastic atmosphere during the lunch – and we hope that we were able to demonstrate to our royal guests that we are a college that is at the heart of the community and welcomes everyone.”
