A South Yorkshire Royalist tells us 'she can't wait' to be in & amongst the atmosphere of the King's coronation this weekend.

Sarah Hinchcliffe - from Sheffield - is heading down to London later today until Monday for the big event with her husband Richard.

She says it's an exciting time:

"My preparations have been getting all of my outfits ready, because I just intend to wear red, white and blue all weekend.

"I've also been shopping to get all of the food for a picnic on the Saturday, so hopefully the weather will stay dry for us.

"I'm sure the atmosphere will be as incredible as it was when we went down to London for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations last June.

"I can't even begin to describe how excited I am for this weekend.

"I couldn't think of anywhere else I'd rather be to celebrate such a momentous occasion.

"It'll be amazing to see all of the celebrations come together on the day of the coronation."

Big screens are also being put up across South Yorkshire for people to watch the coronation if they want to.

Sheffield's Peace Gardens will broadcast the ceremony, as well as Barnsley's Glass Works.
