East Lancashire celebrated the King's coronation on Saturday with a range of organised events and street parties.

Thousands turned out to a huge event in Nelson town centre, where the ceremony was televised on a big screen.

There was food and drink available and rides for children, while attendees waved their Union Jack flags in support of the king.

Over in Accrington, a big screen was put up in the town hall for anyone wanting to watch the coronation of King Charles, and arts and crafts as well as games were available for families and kids to get involved in.

In Great Harwood, residents took to the street for a party and got dressed up for the occasion too.

While in Blackburn last week, St Edward's Primary School celebrated with crowns, a non-uniform day and a big lunch.

In Shadsworth, a picnic lunch was held at the Big Local Community Shop, while others celebrated in their own homes.
