Hundreds of charities across the UK have been using National Lottery funding to celebrate and mark the occasion.
These charities cover a wide range of areas including the environment, arts, education, community, heritage, and sport, and they are planning special events or projects that will have a lasting positive impact beyond the Coronation.
