@Mark62 @aral coronation street parties were paid for by raiding food banks:
".. our local food bank supported about 760 people last week out of a population of about 10,000 in the local area. In recent years, the food bank has used grants from the national lottery to support its activities, but recent applications for funding have been unsuccessful. They have been told that much of the funding is going to events celebrating the coronation."
