THE LEXICON and Bracknell Forest Council are working together to mark the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III, by helping to create Berkshire’s largest coronation crown.
In order to make this happen, 2023 images are needed to create a 14 x 10 metre collage in the shape of a crown.
To join in, residents are being asked to upload an image of themselves, friends, family, pets or community events on The Lexicon website.
Sue Boor, head of marketing at The Lexicon, said: “We want to create something meaningful that the whole community can join in with to recognise this significant moment in our history.
“Once the collage of the Coronation Crown is complete, visitors to The Lexicon will be able to see what they helped create.”
The unique community-created display will be on show in Princess Square in the weeks leading-up to the Coronation ceremony, which is due to take place onSaturday, May 6.
Cllr Marc Brunel-Walker, executive member for economic development and regeneration, said: “I can’t wait to see the final Coronation Crown in Princess Square; this is going to be a true piece of community art. Whilst the crown will look impressive, it will be wonderful to see people come and seek out their own image within the collage.”
There is no limit on the number of images submitted, but any people featured must have given consent to be featured and for the image being used in the artwork.
The deadline for images is Friday, March 10.
