The Kings Coronation bank holiday weekend is upon us - and what better way to enjoy the long weekend than a trip to the pub.
Nearly every weekend in May is a long one - and the nation is preparing to mark the Coronation of King Charles III on May 6 with an extra day off on Monday.
There are a huge number of events being held across the city, including the big screen and free entertainment at Centenary Square.
And hundreds of neighbourhoods are coming together to hold a traditional British street party.
Birmingham is home to a huge number of places named after royalty - from Prince Andrew Crescent in Rubery, Kings Road in Kings Heath, Kingstanding, Kings Norton - and so many more roads, and, of course, the Royal Town of Sutton Coldfield.
But here’s a look at the pubs of the city named after royalty and a look at whether or not they are celebrating the Coronation of King Charles III.
