Leaders from around the globe will attend the coronation of King Charles III and the Queen Consort at Westminster Abbey; the last such occasion was Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s coronation in June 1953.

King Charles III will be crowned King of the UK and the 14 other independent realms of which he is also Head of State.

In Suva, the British High Commission together with the Ministry of Forestry and the Ministry of Youth and Sports marked the significant day by volunteering and planting trees at the Colo-i-Suva forest park.

King Charles III has been a longstanding advocate for forestry and environmental issues, particularly action on climate change.

British High Commissioner to Fiji Dr Brian Jones says it was an honour for him and his team to celebrate the coronation by helping to protect and preserve the local community, and in so doing sustain this part of the Queen’s Commonwealth Canopy.

He says it is vital we protect the beauty of and access to our natural environments.

Minister for Fisheries and Forestry Kalaveti Ravu says the Colo-i-Suva Forest Reserve is part of the Queens Commonwealth Canopy, which was dedicated by Prince Harry during his visit to Fiji in 2018.

He says they are honoured to host the British High Commission in Fiji here at the Colo-i-Suva Forest Park, to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III.
