The entrance to the Suffolk Show's home at Trinity Park on the edge of Ipswich has an impressive new set of gates to mark the Coronation.
They were formally opened by Lord Lieutenant Clare, Countess of Euston, during the second day of the Suffolk Show.
The Coronation Gates provides a fitting entrance to the showground and a source of pride for its creator.

The new gates have been made at Polstead by Kevin King who said it was an honour to work on such a prestigious project.
He said: "It's not the biggest project I've done - but I know it's one that will be seen by a lot of people and I'm very pleased with it."
