With King Charles' coronation just days away- we've been speaking to local school children who've been helping to get Norwich ready for the big day.

Pupils from Free School Norwich have been designing and decorating a giant crown that will on display at Chantry Place until Monday.

"Make more world book days"

We asked them what they would do, if they were King or Queen for the day:

"I would make kids go to work".

"Make more world book days".

"Make kids make a choice if they wanted to go to school or not".

"I would make everybody get me toys, just any toys".

"No School".

"I would feel embarrassed and very happy"

We also got their views on what they think it would be like, to be crowned this weekend:

"I would feel embarrassed and very happy".

"I would be very nervous, yeah I'd be nervous as well".

"I'd be happy as I'd get to rule everybody and get new laws."

What's happening this weekend?

King Charles and Queen Camilla are going to be crowned at Westminster Abbey, on Saturday morning.

On Sunday, there'll be 'Big Coronation Lunches' organised by towns, villages and cities, to celebrate this historic occasion.

On Monday, The Big Help Out' campaign is taking place. This aims to show how volunteering can benefit our communities and those involved
