More police will be on patrol in York for the long Coronation weekend.

Pubs and bars have been given an extension to 1am on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

And there are lots of street parties and community events planned for the weekend when King Charles III is crowned.

North Yorkshire Police say they are proud to be playing a part in helping the public celebrate the Coronation.

But they won’t brook any trouble.

A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “The force is deploying additional officers in towns and city centres to ensure that any instances of anti social behaviour or criminal offences will be swiftly dealt with.

“Months of planning, led by the force’s planning department, has gone into this operation.

“Police officers and staff have had duties changed and annual leave cancelled to ensure that there is enough resource to deal with the anticipated increased demand.”

Some officers from the force have travelled to London to help the Metropolitan Police with the operation in the capital.

The operation’s Gold Commander, North Yorkshire Police’s Assistant Chief Constable Scott Bisset, said: “Across North Yorkshire and York, members of the public are looking forward to joining the rest of the country to mark this historic event.

“The safety of the public is of the utmost importance to us, so we’re increasing patrols to ensure that we can keep the public safe, deter anti social behaviour and maintain law and order.

“My plea to members of the public is please be sensible, plan your night and know your limits.

“I know that the vast majority of people will have a great weekend and won’t need the emergency services.

“For those that do, please be reassured that we will have extra officers and staff on duty and we will be allocating our resource to those that need it the most.”
