Coronation Celebrations, 7th of May “Royal Afternoon Tea Party” and World Record Attempt
The coronation of HM King Charles took place on 6th May 2023, and to celebrate, we held a “Royal Tea Party” on Broomhill Common the following day, Sunday, 7th of May.
Tea and coffee were available along with cakes that were kindly donated by local residents.
There were fun outdoor games, with over 500 residents enjoying a sunny afternoon of tea, cakes, picnics, fun… and, oh yes… a World Record Attempt…
Thank you to all those who attended, and who donated to our Defibrillators for The Knoll appeal.
World Record attempt of “The largest human image of a crown”
Over 500 people joined in with the creation of a “crown”, dressed in purple, yellow or white clothing, or donning a poncho of one of those colours.
Following the creation of the image, which was photographed from the air using a drone, those who took part formed a line to be counted using a click counter. The number counted was 539 which we are hopeful will set our place in the record books.
The Coronation Tea Party was the largest event that The Knoll Residents Association has put on since our Platinum Jubilee Beacon, and, as with our Memorial to HM Queen Elizabeth II, it has not taken long for the event to make national news…

Here is a video which captures some of the amazing community atmosphere of the day, and it will hopefully live on in the memories of those young and old who joined us.
