A royal enthusiast from Essex in southeast England has adorned every inch of his home with giant Union Jack flags, decorations and bunting to celebrate the coronation.

Paul Bibby, 57, is well known on his street for his over-the-top decorations.

His yearly Christmas light display draws crowds, and he goes all out for sports events and other Royal celebrations.

This year he has strung up around 100 flags for the upcoming coronation of King Charles on Saturday (6).

Paul lives with partner Linda Cummings, 60, who is unable to work, and son Aaron Bibby, 35, who he is a carer for - and they love his displays.

Taking more than four hours to put together over several days, his work is now complete - as he has run out of space for any more flags.

Paul, a full-time carer, from Chelmsford, said: "I always think if I'm going to decorate, I won't mess about."

"People think I'm slightly mad - but it's just what I like to do."

"The reason I'm going big for the coronation this year is because this will probably be the only coronation I see in my lifetime."

"I'll be watching the coronation on TV - I hope the weather will be good too."

"I'm quite a big fan of the royal family - I celebrated the Queen, bless her."

"I don't know what sort of King Charles will be, but hopefully he'll take after his mum."
