As our district prepares for the Coronation of King Charles III, we wanted to take a trip down memory lane and look at photos form previous coronations.

Our thanks to the Leamington History Society, Unlocking Warwick, Our Warwickshire, Kenilworth In Camera and the County Record Offices for these photos.

We hope you enjoy them!
