As the King's Coronation is set to take place this weekend, Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council has issued advice and tips to make the most out of the historic day.

Many events and street parties will be taking place in and around Welwyn Hatfield and here is what’s planned in the area.

The council’s clock tower Welwyn Garden City will be lit red, white, and blue for the momentous occasion, as will the Arcade lights in Hatfield.

The very appropriately named Coronation Fountain on Parkway, Welwyn Garden City, will be coloured royal purple.
