To mark the King’s coronation, independent fifth-generation family funeral firm A.W. Lymn The Family Funeral Service has launched a competition for children from across Nottinghamshire and Derby to win a Rolls-Royce experience.

A.W. Lymn, established in 1907, said its Travel like His Majesty competition would celebrate King Charles III’s coronation on 6th May.

The competition is open to all primary schoolchildren. To enter, children need to design their best drawing of a crown, which can then be dropped off at any of the 27 A.W. Lymn branches across Nottinghamshire and Derby. The submitted pictures will be scanned and uploaded to A.W. Lymn’s Facebook page, with the physical drawings displayed in the respective branch windows.

The winner, along with three friends (one of whom must be over the age of 18), will enjoy a royal experience. Starting the day with a car ride fit for the King, the competition winner will be picked up in a Rolls-Royce along with their regal subjects. After a whizz around local sites, the party will continue with a bowling session on Saturday, 29th April.

Matthew Lymn Rose, managing director of A.W. Lymn, said the business had thought carefully about how best to celebrate this major event in British history and wanted to ensure it contributed to creating special memories of the coronation for the people of Nottingham and Derby.

Matthew said: “We are thrilled to offer this unique opportunity for children to express their creativity and celebrate the coronation of King Charles III.

“This competition is not only a fantastic way for us to engage with our community, but it also allows us to create an unforgettable, royally-inspired experience for the lucky winner and their friends. We wholeheartedly encourage all primary school children to participate, have fun, and let their artistic imagination run wild. We can’t wait to see the amazing crown drawings and feel the excitement building up around this special event!”

The competition will close at 8am on 26th April.
