Sharjah24 - Reuters: Guests will get to see the mini models on the balcony at Buckingham Palace, wearing crowns and surrounded by hundreds of mini fans outside the gates. Legoland Windsor Resort revealed during the launching event on Wednesday, scenes celebrating the upcoming coronation of Britain's King Charles III by using Lego bricks, through creating new scenes imaging the event, featuring Lego versions of King Charles's coronation will take place on Saturday, May 6

To celebrate the upcoming coronation of Britain's King Charles III, Legoland Windsor Resort has created two new scenes imaging the event, featuring Lego versions of the monarch and Camilla, Queen Consort. Chief model maker at Legoland UK Paula Laughton spoke at the launch event on Wednesday (April 26).

'We sort of interpreted our version of it, a miniature version. Obviously, if things do happen on the day, we might put things in that are actually corresponding to the actual event,' said Laughton.

There is also a scene in front of an impressive Lego Windsor Castle recreating the concert that is planned for the day after the coronation, on Sunday, May 7.

''I think, something between 25,000 and 30,000 bricks just for the concert scene, which is like a full orchestra and some very famous guests on the day, which is Take That, Lionel Richie and Katy Perry,'' Laughton explained.

As well as Lego versions of the king and queen sitting in the royal box watching the concert, there are also mini versions of William and Kate, the Prince and Princess of Wales, and their children.

''If we've produced something and it's spot on, then our guests are really sort of excited to see that,'' Laughton said.

The display will run until November 2023.
