People all across the country and the Commonwealth are invited to celebrate the Coronation of His Majesty The King and Her Majesty The Queen Consort
over a weekend of special events on 6–8 May
The Almshouse Association has enjoyed a long and proud connection with King Charles who, as the former HRH The Prince of Wales, became the Royal Patron of the Association in 2000 and introduced the highly acclaimed Patron’s Award which encourages and celebrates architectural excellence in the almshouse model.
On the website for the Coronation of His Majesty The King & Her Majesty The Queen Consort , many ideas have been suggested so that we can all join in the celebrations. Take a look at the website via the link above or via the links below:
