As Pembrokeshire gears up for the weekend’s Coronation celebrations, towns and villages are bringing out the bunting to create some right royal decorations.

A free King’s Coronation Tea will be held in the Regency Hall on Sunday afternoon.
The event is funded by the Regency Hall and Saundersfoot Community Council, and is open to all those residing in the voting ward of Saundersfoot.
