In Woodbridge, the talented painters, potters, photographers, and lace makers from Woodbridge Art Club Ltd joined forces to create a collage commemorating their Majesties.

The contributions of different club members have been combined into a floral arrangement reflecting the King and Queen’s shared love of horticulture.

Roses, daffodils, thistles, and shamrocks symbolise the four nations of the United Kingdom, along with many other flowers, bees and other insects – and even a Suffolk Green Man, if you can spot him. 

Meanwhile, at Chase Lane Primary School & Nursery in Harwich, students were invited to dress up in red, white or blue on Friday. Students enjoyed a coronation assembly, where they belted out the words to the coronation song, ‘To the Sound of Trumpets’. 

After lunch, the students gathered in the school field, where members of staff organised the whole school into the formation of the royal emblem, captured by the drone photograph below.

Finally, Gillian Allard is a professional photographer from Stonham Aspal. Whilst going through old photos, she came across these striking images which she took in preparation for a class she was running two years ago. 

The photos were taken by capturing a water droplet in motion, using coloured gels. Quite by chance, Gillian chose to use the colours of red, white and blue – and saw that one of the droplets had formed the shape of a crown. 

Gillian said: “Although I am not a royalist myself, I thought these images would strike a chord for the many people around Suffolk who have been marking the coronation.”
