Some party-goers opted for costumes for their big night in cities like Leeds, Birmingham and Newcastle, while others opted for chic outfits.

Even mild temperatures and the occasional shower couldn’t dampen the good spirits.

The special holiday to mark the coronation of King Charles is just one of three long weekends in May.

Last weekend there was the May Day holiday and at the end of the month there is another one.

Celebrations began earlier in the evening as King Charles, Queen Camilla and other members of the royal family attended the coronation concert in the grounds of Windsor Castle.

The newly crowned king shook the leg of Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Take That.

The two-hour extravaganza featured music from the likes of Paloma Faith, performances by Pierce Brosnan and Tom Cruise, and a heartfelt speech by Prince William.

Lionel Richie sang his popular All Night Long while Charles and the royals danced.

Katy Perry performed her hit song Roar while Princess Charlotte sang along with mother Kate.

She then dedicated her song “Fireworks” to Charles and the work they both do for The British Asian Trust.

British favorite Take That closed the concert with a special feature from vocalist Calum Scott.

The King was on his feet waving a Union flag as he danced to the song Shine.

Prince George and Princess Charlotte were also on their feet and waving their flags.

Closing the entire concert, the trio sang their 1995 hit “Never Forget” while the audience joined in.
