Street Bunting & Decorations,
Street Bunting & Decorations,
We'll be decorating our village with over 1,400 meters of bunting again, in bright colours all the way along Church Walk.
Our Highways Team will begin erecting Bunting on Friday 28th April 2023, to create a village of colour in the run-up to the Coronation. After the Coronation and Bank Holiday have passed, we'll aim to remove the bunting by Monday 15th May 2023. Please help our team by making it easier to erect our bunting, by not parking/blocking ladder access to street lighting columns and telegraph poles. Your cooperation is much appreciated.
Church Bunting & Decorations,
Church Bunting & Decorations,
We'll be raising a special Coronation Flag on our Flag Pole at St. John the Baptist Church from Friday 28th April 2023 and throughout the summer. There is currently no flag flying on the pole, due to delayed painting works, the works are expected to be completed and the new flag raised in time for the Coronation!
Our Church Maintenance Team will erect Bunting on Friday 28th April 2023 at the church and our Highways Team will erect more Street Bunting through the church field, between the telegraph poles leading up to Manor Farm.

Street Gathering - Event Road Closure,
Street Gathering - Event Road Closure,
To enable us to run our event safely, Peterborough City Council has granted us a permit to temporarily close a section of Church Walk. While the image shows a large closure area, this is only for safety, the event will be taking place to the left of the Telephone Kiosk, leaving room for Emergency Vehicles and Urgent Residential Access, meaning the area which we do close may be smaller. The road will be closed on Sunday My 7th 2023 from 10:45am until 4:30pm.
For further information and enquiries regarding this Temporary Closure, please get in touch with our Team: upton.community.council@gmail.com

The Coronation of The King and The Queen Consort will take place on the morning of Saturday 6th May 2023 at Westminster Abbey and the service will be televised live on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. A specific start time has yet to be confirmed, but Queen Elizebeth II's Coronation began at 11:15am on June 2nd 1953, so Charles' may follow suit. The Coronation is a solemn religious service as well as an occasion for celebration and pageantry.
The King and The Queen Consort will arrive at Westminster Abbey in procession from Buckingham Palace, known as the King's Procession. After the service, they will return to Buckingham Palace in a larger ceremonial procession, known as The Coronation Procession, joined by other members of the royal family. The King and Queen Consort will be accompanied by members of the royal family on the balcony to conclude the day's ceremonial events.
On Sunday 7th May, a special Coronation Concert will take place at Windsor Castle and it will be broadcast live on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. The Coronation Concert will bring global music icons and contemporary stars together in celebration of the historic occasion.

The Coronation Choir will appear alongside The Virual Choir, made up of singers from across the Commonwealth, for a special performance on the night of The Coronation Concert. The Coronation Choir documentary will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. Date to be confirmed.
With a little less reverence than events in Westminster Abbey, British sitcom The Windsors will return with a special episode to mark King Charles' Coronation. The Windsors, which has been running for three seasons on Channel 4, will also soon return for a fourth series in the run-up to the special.
