Dozens of people enjoyed a bank holiday Monday street party and even managed to miss the rain.

Residents of Glendor Road in Hove celebrated with food, drink and plenty of cake yesterday for King Charles III’s coronation.

The street was filled with people of all ages, from four up to 83 as people sat under gazebos and enjoyed games in overcast Hove.

Amanda Charlish, one of the street party organisers, said: “We have had 17 houses involved on the street and 45 people here.

“We have had a fun-packed day. We started with team games and then bingo.

"We have had a shared lunch where everyone has brought a main and side dish. We have also done a quiz.

“Now it’s cake time. The kids did a scavenger hunt where they were all looking for all the jewels of the King’s crown.”

"It’s nice because it’s a short road and everyone knows each other.

“We have a nice mixture of young and old, our youngest is four and the oldest on the street is 83.

“All the dogs are on the street running in and out of the houses.

“We had a street party for the Jubilee and everyone loved it so much, especially as we have some people on our road who are elderly and they like to get involved and hang out.

“We also do a Christmas advent in December. It’s a community-spirited road.

"During Covid, everyone went shopping for each other and during the bin strike we took each other’s rubbish to the tip.”

The street party was one of hundreds to take place over the bank holiday weekend across Sussex as King Charles and Queen Camilla were crowned on Saturday.
