Mayoral message
“The coronation and the long bank holiday weekend offer people across the country an opportunity to come together and celebrate.
The Queen’s long reign was an example of significant dedication to public service. Her Platinum Jubilee provided memorable events for many.
The reign of King Charles lll marks a different historic era. Britain’s population is more varied by ethnicity, religion, and family roots than it was 70 years ago. This is something we celebrate in our city every day.
On behalf of Brighton & Hove, I send good wishes to the new King and Queen for this historic event and wish all those who are marking the occasion, a very happy day.”
Lizzie Deane, Mayor of Brighton & Hove.
