St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Brockville celebrated the coronation of His Majesty King Charles lll with a celebratory brunch following the 10:00 a.m. service on May 7.
Partakers dined on Coronation Chicken served on a bed of greens which was the menu at the coronation brunch for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ll. Desserts included trifle and treacle tart; a tribute to England all the way.
Diners were invited to dress in their finest with prizes awarded for the fanciest dressed. The coronation ceremony played in the background creating much conversation about the pomp and pageantry of the illustrious day.
The church hall was decorated in the traditional red, white and blue with pennants and Union Jacks adorning the walls, and centerpieces adding to the ambience of the tables.
Fr. Haynes Hubbard gave a toast to the new King as the participants raised their glasses of sparkling (non-alcoholic) apple cider. The toast was followed by a rousing rendition of God Save the King.
