KING Charles III's accession to the throne will be commemorated throughout Essex over the next two days.

Cities, districts, boroughs and towns across the county will host proclamations officially marking the country's new monarch. 

These events follow the Royal Proclamation which took place yesterday, when the new King, King Charles III, was formally proclaimed at an historic Accession Council.

Members of the public are welcome to attend any of these historic events.
