Commenting, Richard Holden MP said:
"I cannot wait until The King’s coronation on 6th May. The celebrations taking place in North West Durham and across the nation will bring people together across the nation over a magical weekend in May.
"Like many, I am looking forward to raising a glass to the new monarch. It’s fantastic news that now, thanks to the Coronation Licensing Hours Order, all pubs can stay open till 1AM over the Coronation Weekend to celebrate His Majesty The King's Coronation!
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime event for many so lets make it amazing!"
