An Explorer Scout from Wisbech attended the Coronation of HRH King Charles III as part of a select group at St Margaret’s Church, Westminster Abbey.

After the Coronation, Scouts greeted HRH King Charles III to wish him a long happy reign. 

Henry Fuller was one of the 50 Scouts who were specifically selected to attend the Coronation event. The 50 Scouts were selected to represent half a million others around the UK to thank them for supporting the running of the Coronation.

Scouts played a key role in supporting the Coronation by assisting with a number of events including - helping with crowd stewarding, supporting the public who were there to celebrate with the King, route lining and providing first aid services.

The Scouts were also responsible for managing the huge crowds at locations such as the big screen in St James Park, Hyde Park, Green Park, and the Admiralty Arch. Taking part in these events is a massive responsibility but The Scouts say, their duty to the nation will always be a priority, no matter the scale.

Henry Fuller, from Fenland Scout District, said: "I was able to be a part of history.

"I feel incredibly lucky to be one of the few people who attended the private screening of the coronation service.

"This would not have been possible without Scouts.

"Being a part of the Scout community continues to open amazing doors for me – which I am forever grateful for.

"As well as coming together to celebrate this momentous occasion, it was so great that we were able to support various activities and general management throughout the event!’’
