Nelson Town Council's King Charles III Coronation Celebration

DESIGN A CROWN COMPETITION

Cardboard King crowns were delivered to 20 primary schools and nurseries across Nelson, with students being challenged to decorate their crowns as part of an exciting coronation competition, with a trip to London up for grabs for the winner and their family. The children taking part were invited to wear their decorated crowns in a spectacular procession in Nelson town centre. The judging of the crowns then took place on the stage show of the coronation day itself, with BBC Radio Lancashire’s Hussnain Hanif leading the judging from a final 10.

Nelson Town Council councillors made the difficult decision in picking the final three. The two runner up winners of a special London themed hamper were in 3rd place Zainab Aziz aged 7 from Lomeshaye School, and 2nd place Kynley James Gibson aged 7 from St Johns Southworth. The top prize winner was lucky Noah Emmott aged 6, who had worked very hard on a lovely replica crown with a knitted inside! He wins a trip to London as a special top prize.
