large banquets planned for Sunday across the country

Sunday, the day after the enthronement of Charles III, the party will continue, with in particular several banquets organized in the country. “The Brits call it the Big Lunch, a popular tradition at royal events. Neighborhood parties where locals can close traffic and set up big tables in the streets“, explains the journalist Ambroise Bouleis, live from London.

Members of the royal family could get involved

Much to their delight, the English are expected to be clear of the rain on Sunday, while the King rode through the crowds in the rain on Saturday. “Some residents might be surprised to see members of the British royal family sitting with them. This is the case of Prince Edward and his wife who should invite themselves to these banquets”, reveals the journalist. The UK doesn’t have a national holiday, so these block parties are a way to celebrate common identity.
