A local church is inviting the community to celebrate the coronation of King Charles with a free breakfast filled with British treats.

On the morning of Saturday, May 6, the Caledon East United Church will host a special “Coronation Breakfast” that anyone is welcome to attend.

It will feature traditional scones with assorted toppings, as well as scrambled eggs, sausages, and fresh fruit. During the breakfast, highlights and live news coverage of the coronation of King Charles will be played.

King Charles first took the throne when Queen Elizabeth II died on September 8, 2022. Charles’ Coronation will take place at Westminster Abbey in London, UK, on May 6. His will be the first Coronation since Queen Elizabeth was crowned 70 years ago in 1953.

Fay McCrea, a parishioner at the Caledon East United Church and has British heritage. She’s going to create a photo display of King Charles from the time he was born until the time he married his wife, Camilla.

“We’re going to have blueberry scones and plain ones and raisin ones, with lots of assorted toppings and cream, the whole bit,” said McCrea.

She explained there are many other parishioners like her at the church with a background in the United Kingdom. There will be a Union Jack flag hung as decoration for the breakfast, and paper crowns for attendees.
