Giant Royal Cypher heralds Coronation Celebrations
A giant King Charles III Royal Cypher has been painted on Mill Meadows in Henley-on-Thames to mark the Coronation of the new King on 6th May, 2023.
The 100ft x 100ft Cypher which can be seen close to the bandstand by the River Thames is a collaboration between Henley Town Council, Origin Amenity Solutions and Meadow Farm Studios.
Local resident Simon Hughes who is Technical Sales Manager for Origin Amenity Solutions, approached the Town Centre Manager with the idea and local photo/videographer Richard Pinches offered to capture the process with photography and drone footage.
Simon Hughes said, “ It’s great to do something for the local community for this auspicious occasion and I think you’ll agree the result is brilliant”.
Talking about being asked to help Richard Pinches said, “When the Henley Town Centre Manager, asked if I could come and shoot the King’s new Royal Cypher being created at Mill Meadows, I jumped at the chance, a great little project to be involved in”
Paul Carey Town Centre Manager, Henley Town Council commented, “Henley on Thames has a unique connection to many Kings and Queens, Charles I stayed at the Red Lion, now The Relais Hotel a number of times in the 1640’s. It’s great to mark the Coronation of King Charles III in this way and it looks superb.”
The Coronation of King Charles III will be shown on a big TV screen in Henley Market Place on Saturday 6th, May 2023 and coverage starts at 9am and there will be a special Coronation Flotilla on Monday 8th May commencing at 2pm from Hambleden Lock.
