Sir Edward Leigh, the Conservative MP for Gainsborough, highlighted the chance the upcoming coronation provides to celebrate Great Britain.
"The coronation is not only a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our culture and history—in Lincolnshire, for instance, we hope that the King’s Champion from Scrivelsby will go on having a role, as he has done for 1,000 years—but an opportunity to bring in new people who have never been before."
The Coronation will be a wonderful celebration of our culture and history.

We in Lincolnshire are hoping the King's Champion from Scrivelsby will have a role as they have for centuries, but it's a chance for many others to be represented as well. pic.twitter.com/BA2h1xywpH
