Come together to celebrate, help others and honour the unsung heroes who have gone the extra mile for their communities.
That's the call from Norfolk's Lord Lieutenant, as the county gears up for the King's coronation.
Charles III and Camilla, Queen Consort, will be crowned at Westminster Abbey in London on Saturday, May 6, at the start of three days of celebrations.
Lady Philippa Dannatt said: "We're hoping everyone will bring their communities together with street parties and other events, to make this a weekend people will never forget.
"Young people are going to be at the forefront. I want them to be excited about the monarchy and what the future holds."
Organisers hope the weekend will build on the success of the late Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June 2022, when communities gathered to mark the 70th anniversary of her accession to the throne.
Buckingham Palace said: "Their Majesties the King and the Queen Consort hope the coronation weekend will provide an opportunity to spend time and celebrate with friends, families and communities across the United Kingdom, the realms and the Commonwealth."
The BBC has waived its licence fee for coronation day, to allow big screens to be set up in village halls and town centres for people to watch the event, which will be broadcast live from London.
Breckland council has announced plans for screens in Attleborough, Thetford, Swaffham, Watton and Dereham. Other councils are expected to follow suit.
Some 10 million viewers watched the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, in 1953 and millions more are expected to tune in to see Charles III crowned on May 6.
The Coronation Big Lunch, at which neighbours and communities are invited to share food and fun together, will take place across the country on Sunday, May 7.
It will provide the perfect excuse for the traditional street party, such as those which took place across the country to celebrate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, in 1953.
Councils have issued advice for those thinking of breaking out the bunting.
Those wishing to organise one must also apply to Norfolk County Council for a road closure order for the event, although street gatherings which take place on private property, such as someone's garden, do not require one.
People are also expected to take to parks, gardens and community spaces to celebrate.
An extra Bank Holiday has been declared for Monday, May 8.
People are being encouraged to use it to take part in the Big Help Out by joining in with volunteer work in support of their communities.

"There is something there for everyone to do," said Lady Dannatt. "Volunteering can change lives, it's something we can all do."
She added as well as active forms of volunteering, people could also support Silver Line, a telephone befriending service for elderly people living alone.
Queen Consort Camilla has launched the Coronation Champions Awards to celebrate the work of the nation's unsung heroes.
She said: "Up and down the country, millions of unsung heroes are contributing to their local communities, giving generously of their time and their talents to enhance the lives of others."
A special community champions reception, hosted by Lady Dannatt, will take place at the Royal Norfolk Show on June 28 - 29.
Those honoured will also be assembled for a tribute in the grand ring.
A special Lord Lieutenancy website featuring coronation events and activities will be launching soon.
