An interactive map has revealed where more than 3,700 coronation luncheons are taking place in Britain and dozens more abroad.
Thousands of street parties are expected to be held this weekend, encouraging people to gather for what has been dubbed the ‘Coronation Big Lunch’.
Organizers told MailOnline that the most northerly event in Britain is scheduled to take place in the Shetland Islands, while the most southerly event will take place in the Isles of Scilly.
The map shows that there are currently 3,754 Coronation Big Lunches planned in the UK and more abroad in Canada, the US, France, Germany, Greece and New Zealand.
Buckingham Palace said the lunches from Saturday to Monday will be “a nationwide act of celebration and friendship” with some members of the royal family taking part.
On Sunday, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh will attend a large luncheon at Cranleigh in Surrey, while Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie will attend in Windsor. The plans for Prince William and Kate are expected to be released by Kensington Palace soon.
Huge luncheons take place across the UK every year, with over a million held since 2009. Last year the events raised over £22 million for local charities.

For the late Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation in 1953, Coronation Chicken – cold chicken in a curry cream sauce with a well-seasoned dressed salad of rice, green peas and mixed herbs – was invented to feed the foreign guests who were entertained at Buckingham Palace afterwards. the ceremony.
The recipe is from Royal Chef Mark Flanagan and was chosen in collaboration with him by Charles and Camilla.
Former Buckingham Palace chef Darren McGrady said the king’s choice was no surprise as Charles loves anything with eggs and cheese.
Buckingham Palace said the quiche was chosen because it worked as a dish for sharing, can be served hot or cold, caters for a wide range of dietary requirements and can be easily adapted to different tastes.

Quiche is known as a classic French dish, but it is said to have originated in Germany in the Middle Ages with the word quiche from the German kuchen meaning cake.
A statement on the Eden Project website said: ‘As events progress, they don’t get much bigger than the coronation of a new monarch.
“We are delighted to be part of the official celebrations and we would like people across the UK (and the world!) to have a large coronation luncheon to celebrate.”
