Ludlow's Big Lunch was one of many events held to celebrate the May 6 coronation, which saw more than 2,000 guests gather in Westminster Abbey and the largest military ceremonial operation in 70 years.

It was followed by local Big Lunch events which took place up and down the country, some of which were joined by members of the Royal family.

The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh attended a big lunch in Cranleigh while the Princess Royal and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence visited a community street party in Swindon, and Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie joined a big lunch in Windsor.
