Angela Joyce, CEO of WCG, said: “Our colleges are at the heart of the communities in which they are located. On what will be a special week for the whole country it will be wonderful to welcome people from the community into our colleges for a Coronation celebration.

“Students at each of our three colleges have been involved in the planning and delivery of the lunches and afternoon teas, and are going above and beyond to create a truly memorable experience for guests.”
