The big day’s nearly here for King Charles III, who’ll make the short journey to Westminster Abbey on Saturday for his coronation.

So, how can you pick the best memorabilia that could hopefully be worth a bit more than your paid for them in the future - and how to avoid getting conned?

Because for those who aren’t royal-watchers with an eye for desirable keepsakes, it can be tricky sifting trash from treasure.

The Leader podcast’s joined by two specialists, whose knowledge spans many centuries, to advise on trying your luck at a coronation investment, from antique ceremonial chairs to commemorative coins.

But why it’s probably a box of coronation chocolates that will bring party hosts most joy on the big day.

The Leader podcast’s joined by Wizz Selvey, founder of brand and retail strategy agency Wizz&Co, and Anna Evans, head of sale for the fine and decorative department at London auctioneer Roseberys.
