Lizzie Cundy and Nick Cave kick off boozy Bank Holiday street parties as celebs gather to celebrate King Charles’ coronation
Lizzie Cundy and Nick Cave got the party started on Sunday as Bank Holiday celebrations kicked off across the UK in honor of King Charles’ coronation.
Street parties take place across the country as drunken Brits make the most of a three-day weekend, culminating in a musical spectacle at Windsor Castle.
And as communities came together to honor the historic event, celebrities were eager to get involved with TV personality Lizzie, enjoying a gathering outside her west London home.
The former WAG, 55, dressed appropriately in a black blazer with a plunging vest and Union Jack sequin bow tie.
Lizzie posed for a photo on the road, shielding her eyes with large sunglasses and sipping a glass of fizz to mark the occasion.

Sitting on tables behind her, the radio host’s neighbors filled the flag-lined street as they sliced sponge cakes and quiches.
Elsewhere, singer-songwriter Nick, 65, joined in the fun at the Holland Street Coronation party alongside Kensington residents after attending the main event at Westminster Abbey on Saturday.
The Australian music icon was one of the few Australian representatives invited to take part in the historic event.

The musician swept back his black hair and wore a neat pinstripe shirt with a black blazer and dress pants.
The coronation concert will begin at Windsor Castle on Sunday night, where the King and Queen of the Royal Family will join around 20,000 members of the public to continue the festivities following their coronation at Westminster Abbey on Saturday.
The musical extravaganza will see performances from Paloma Faith, Olly Murs and veteran rock guitarist Steve Winwood.
The Windsor show, hosted by Downton Abbey and Paddington star Hugh, starts at 8pm.

Buckingham Palace has promised “global music icons and contemporary stars” for the big concert.
It will undoubtedly be the highlight of the second day of the coronation celebrations, which are expected to attract around 20,000 people.
Classical acts such as Andrea Bocelli, Welsh bass-baritone Sir Bryn Terfel and Chinese pianist Lang Lang are also on the programme.
Hollywood star Tom Cruise, Dynasty actress Dame Joan Collins, adventurer Bear Grylls, singer Sir Tom Jones and former Strictly Come Dancing professional Oti Mabuse will also be featured via video.
The series of pre-recorded skits reveals little-known facts about the monarch and also features moments from beloved literary character Winnie-the-Pooh – seemingly echoing the famous moment Paddington Bear had tea with the Queen during her Platinum Jubilee celebration.
