A number of local groups including Clyne Heritage Society, the Rotary Club of East Sutherland and Brora Community Enterprises, came together to organise the picnic party and it has now been decided that a similar event will be held to mark the first anniversary of the coronation.

Community turns out in force for Brora coronation picnic

It will be held on bank holiday Monday, May 6, and will have the theme the 'Royal Teddy Bear Picnic Party'.

Rotarian Alistair Risk said: "Brora had a wonderful community party to mark the coronation of our new king in 2023.

"More than 500 children and adults enjoyed fun music and sport at Fascally Park, adjacent to the Clyne Heritage Society's museum.

"Pipers played, everyone danced and sand and the children simply buzzed with excitement.

"It was a blast and afterwards the feeling of achievement was mixed with disappointment that it was all over.

"So at the last meeting of the committee, it was decided to do it all over again."

Mr Risk added that the free event would be a great day out for all and would also be a fundraiser for local charities.
