Throughout the day, Mancunian Matters caught up with a wide variety of people turned out to celebrate the Coronation of King Charles III.
One man took his enthusiasm to another level, as he segwayed around Manchester with an inflatable dinosaur on his back – complete with its very own crown.
Sophie, speaking in Piccadilly Gardens, said: “I love the pageantry. It brings everyone together.
“It’s really lovely to see everyone coming together. Everyone’s got their flags and their hats and their bit of cake.
“I think it’s really important since the pandemic to get everyone together again, and have something to look forward to.
“Even though King Charles is 74, I think he’s very modern. He seems to really care about the environment.”
As the saying goes…Manchester, we do things differently up here.
