King Charles III: Proclamations held in north-west England – bbc.com

Ceremonies marking the accession of King Charles III have been held across north-west England.
The new monarch was formally proclaimed as King at a ceremony at St James's Palace in London on Saturday.
Regional proclamations, which follow the national event, were held in Preston, Liverpool and Manchester among other locations.
Charles, the former Prince of Wales, became the monarch after the death of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday.
His new position was formally confirmed at a ceremony on Saturday.
Proclamations are a historic tradition, dating back to when they would be the first occasion when people around the country would hear about the accession of a new monarch.
A spokesman for Manchester City Council said they were "still an opportunity to come together and reflect on an historic moment".
Hundreds of spectators turned out for the event in Preston, with one attendee telling BBC North West Tonight: "This week has been quite immense.
"I want to show my respect to King Charles III – I think he's going to be a very good King – and also I'm here because of the Queen."
Another crowd member, called Derek, said: "The royalty is still very well thought of and something like this will strengthen it even more."
Another participant added: "I think people want to be part of it and this is just our little bit of it.
"She was the Duke of Lancaster and [the King] is now the Duke of Lancaster so there is lots of historical stuff connected to Lancashire so it's good to be here."
The Duchy of Lancaster manages various investments to provide income for the monarch. It has historically been associated with the area covering present-day Lancashire, Greater Manchester and Merseyside.
