Community representatives set to attend the King's coronation have spoken of their joy at being invited. King Charles and Camilla, the Queen Consort, have invited 850 people to the 6 May ceremony in recognition of their charitable contributions. Asked how they reacted to finding out they had been invited to the coronation, Mrs Sturdy-Morton, 71, said they thought it was a hoax. The young guests will also be able to see the coronation procession leaving Westminster Abbey at the end of the service. The official coronation service invitation, which was designed by heraldic artist Andrew Jamieson, was unveiled earlier this week.
