King Charles III's official coronation on May 6 was watched by millions across the world. Even as the ceremonies concluded, the celebrations did not. A special concert was organised the very next night, featuring performances by the likes of Katy Perry and Indian actress Sonam Kapoor also in attendance. That's not all - thousands of picnics and lunches were also hosted on May 7 in order to celebrate the king's coronation. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his wife Akshata Murthy too hosted a grand picnic lunch at their residence that featured cakes, pies and more. Take a look:
