Traditional Proclaimation ceremonies have been held across Suffolk to mark the assession of the new monarch King Charles III.

Mayors, community leaders, dignitaries and other senior public figures assembled on the steps of the Town Hall to hear the High Sherriff of Suffolk, Major Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, read the Proclamation on Sunday (September 11).

The event was attended by around 7,000 people and was the first reading of the proclaimation in the county of Suffolk, with further readings in 23 other towns across the county later the same day.

Each town mayor attending the ceremony in Ipswich was handed a scroll containing the words of the Proclaimation.
