Coronation Weekend in May

As you know the big Coronation Weekend is happening on the long weekend 6-8th May. 8th is a Bank holiday Monday - Cheers for that!
Brace yourself for a hardcore weekend (booked up, expensive, crowded), so if you plan to come into London to visit from abroad I would rather advice against it, but if you are already here or can stay somewhere for free then great!
The Brits divide themselves into 3 groups: Royalists, Anti-Royalists and Don't care- however everybody seems to celebrate in the end anyway...
So the ideal weekend to celebrate the Crown would include minimum one of the following:

• A beer in a pub with a garden or outdoor sitting, complimented with a pub lunch (served on Sunday only) Following the action on the TV.
  

• A picnic in one of London's amazing parks, on a blanket with a cooler bag full of snacks and drinks like G&T's, Pimms, ciders, with scotch eggs, sandwiches and crisps. Yum!
  
  
• A garden party, for the lucky ones who have a garden- like me. Featuring the same as above but with more comfort.
  

Of course there are some events taking place, up to date I know of the following:

• Zara Du Rose 'Kings&Queens' in Brighton on the 5th (full on themed fetish ball)
  
  
• Adonis All dayer on the 8th (quite queer and gay oriented party)
  

There are certainly more parties which are privately organised and I am not able to share here but do ask if you're at a loose end!
