"To ensure its success the following measures will be in place:
"Road closures and diversions near Lancaster Castle. There will also be brief rolling road closures throughout the day
"Parking suspended on St Mary’s Parade from 6pm Thursday June 5 to Monday June 9 at 9pm.

Following the ceremony, His Majesty will meet representatives from local businesses before joining a reception attended by a variety of organisations from the Lancaster area.
The Lord-Lieutenant of Lancashire, Mrs Amanda Parker JP, said she was delighted at the announcement by Buckingham Palace that The King will make his first official visit to the county of Lancashire.
Mrs Parker, who is The King's representative in the county, will officially greet His Majesty on his arrival into Lancaster. King Charles will then visit the historic Lancaster Castle where he holds the title of Duke of Lancaster.
Mrs Parker said: “I am delighted that His Majesty is coming to Lancashire and look forward to introducing him to many Lancastrian businesses and community organisations.
"This is a very special occasion for our county.”
A number of roads will be closed and barriers in place allowing visitors the chance to welcome The King. Many organisations are working closely together to make sure that the event is a wonderful occasion for the city.
King Charles was last in the local area in 2022, when he was Prince of Wales.
He met with community organisations and local businesses, at both the Winter Gardens (below, with Professor Vanessa Toulmin, chair of the Winter Gardens Preservation Trust) and Morecambe Fire Station.
