A lucky Swindon woman has won tickets to attend a concert celebrating the coronation of King Charles III - after previously being picked to go to the Platinum Jubilee Party at the Palace.

Jane Scerri could not believe it when an email arrived in her inbox this week announcing that she had been randomly chosen to go to Windsor Castle on the historic day of the monarch's coronation.

After entering a similar public draw last year, she was one of 5,000 people to receive tickets to a star-studded concert held outside Buckingham Palace to mark 70 years of Queen Elizabeth II's reign.

The 60-year-old said: "I was over the moon and dizzy with excitement, it's absolutely crazy.

"I did have a bit of a feeling that lightning might strike twice because I'm a lucky person, but I still could not believe it when I saw the confirmation.

"I do enjoy all the pomp and ceremony, it's unmatched anywhere else in the world, we're right to be proud of it.

"I still can't get over the fact that I was at the Queen's last party. It was a very special day."

Swindon Advertiser:

After the King is crowned at Westminster Abbey on Saturday, May 6, the BBC will host an afternoon of live music at Windsor Castle on Sunday, May 7.

Take That, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie are among the stars set to perform.

Jane eagerly applied for tickets to the event in February and, although she is delighted to have been sent a link to claim two now, she will not be clicking it.

She added: "I'm pleased that I won, but it's at quite short notice and I don't have travel plans in place, it's quite awkward to get to. 

"So, rather than hold onto the tickets in case my situation changes, I have decided to put them back into the ballot.

"I'm a bit gutted to be unable to go and represent Swindon again, but I'm happy that someone else will be able to have the same thrill and amazing experience I had at the Jubilee.

"I'm going to spend the day with my family and watch the coronation on TV instead."

It comes as some Royal fans labelled the ballot "misleading", as they appeared to get an email congratulating them for their success in the ticket ballot, but when they clicked the link to take them to the website, the tickets had sold out.
