Thames Valley Police proud to have supported the Coronation Concert - Windsor

Thames Valley Police is immensely proud to have supported the Coronation Concert today (7/5) by policing Windsor and working with our partners. 

More than 20,000 people safely enjoyed the unique event at Windsor Castle to celebrate the Coronation of Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla, while a further 10,000 took part in community events along the Long Walk during the day. 

This was thanks to a team made up of hundreds of dedicated officers and staff working alongside our partners from other agencies, such as the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, the Metropolitan Police Service, the Royal Household, British Transport Police and many others. 

At the same time, our officers, staff and volunteers supported numerous community events for The Big Lunch across the Thames Valley.

Strategic commander for our operation in Windsor, Assistant Chief Constable Christian Bunt said: “My thanks go to every single member of my team and our partners who have contributed to ensuring this iconic concert was an enjoyable event for all. 

“While it is an honour for us to be involved in this operation to mark Their Majesties’ Coronation, it has only been possible because of so many people’s hard work and dedication. 

“My priority throughout has been to ensure the public’s safety and provide an effective and proportionate policing response, which I believe we have achieved. 

“I would like to thank concert-goers as well as residents, business owners and the thousands of visitors to Windsor this weekend for their cooperation. 

“There was no significant disruption or incidents, and no protest activity took place in Windsor today.

"My officers have commented on how many positive interactions they've had with residents and visitors in the town which has made for such a lovely, celebratory atmosphere in Windsor today.”
