Another Lichfield baby has joined those receiving a commemorative gift after being born on the same day as the coronation.
Staffordshire County Council is handing out the special mugs to the first ten families who let them know that their children arrived on the historic date.
Two of the ten were already from the Lichfield area – and now a third has joined them.
Barney Thomas Yardley was welcomed at 10.34am by mum and dad Lucy and Paul Yardley.
Lucy said:
“We are delighted with the arrival of our very own little prince
“Being born on the King’s coronation – it will be a day we shall never forget.
“We shall make sure Barney knows all about the historic moment in time when he grows up.”

The parents and the ten babies will also be invited to a special photoshoot to mark the occasion.
Cllr Alan White, Staffordshire County Council’s leader, said:
“This is a wonderfully simple way to mark the King’s coronation and I’d like to congratulate those proud parents on the birth of their children.
“The birth of a child is a very special time for all concerned but to be born on such a historic day makes it even more special.
“It’s something that I’m sure will be talked about amongst their families for many years to come. I hope people are able to save and treasure their memento as a reminder of a special moment in history.”
Cllr Alan White, Staffordshire County Council
