‘It’s a happy day and a sad day because we loved our Queen so much,’ one attendee said.
“As the King’s representative in Newfoundland and Labrador, I sincerely thank all of you for joining us as we mark an historical occasion in our province and country of the coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla,” Foote said.Newfoundland and Labrador Lt.-Gov Judy Foote and her husband, Howard Foote, hosted a celebration at the Government House grounds on Saturday, May 6, 2023, for the Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
The commemoration has remained the same for over 1000 years, Foote said. The pageantry begins with the King’s procession before the Coronation service at Westminster Abbey, where it has been for the last 900 years, then continues to Buckingham Palace. Beverly Batten of St. John’s was in attendance and said she shook the King and Queen's hands during their visit last year.
