Jubilee Parties

We were going to go to Spain that weekend but it's too expensive. So we've rented a pod by the sea, with no TV.

Our Parish Council are lighting a beacon, burying a Time Capsule and in conjunction with the local church funding a lunch for those who struggled in the last two years. Street parties are being encouraged with advice on road closure processes, but no funding.

The jubilee coincides with my grandson's 18th Birthday...guess which one I'm going to.

We're having a Jubilee party at our block of flats and are planting a tree for the 'Queen's green canopy'. I'm looking forward to it. I expect we'll all bring and share. Not applying for external funding.

Younger ladies in my area have taken to organising street celebrations of late. My attendance is totally weather related and I'm happy to donate whatever is required of me. I like to encourage community spirit but my problem is that, with so many Mums working, I don't know who half of them are.

No never heard of any in my area

I feel a bit embarrassed. For most of my life I lived and worked in areas where there wasn't much money. Where I live now is fairly mixed generally, but my little village is mostly comfortable.
Our Parish Council applied for and got a grant for a street party. It is easy for us to close roads, and they have organised a band with the grant. We will 'bring and share' and buy drinks from the pub.
I know that there are some areas that could really do with this money to have a nice day, whereas here most of us could have chipped in for the band. But I don't want to be critical of our PC who have simply filled in the form to get what was on offer for all.
I also feel hypocritical as I'm a republican! But will enjoy a community get-together, and certainly don't want to be Grinch!
I'll salve my conscience by donating to another street party in an area that needs it!

Were having a street party. The young ones in our street are organising it. I hope the weather is kind.

Our road used to always have a summer party in July, haven’t had one the last 2 years. Someone asked if we’d be having a street party for the jubilee this year. Answer - no, it’s going to be in July as lots of the families with kids will be away for half term.

Our Street is having a bring and share party. The residents committee have applied for part of the road to be closed. It's bring your own chair, cup and cutlery and food/drink for the sharing table. Games are being organised for the little ones. Just hoping for good weather. Very little joint expenditure needed.

I think the era of street parties is over, even more so now under the present circumstances.

Our road are having a Jubilee street tea party, and each household that has booked a ticket has contributed the suggested amount.

The parish council have had a grant from the council, and have offered us free bunting, and a £50 contribution towards tea and coffee.

It is a historical occasion and many older people in this road have fond memories and photos of past street parties. We have asked for memorabilia to be lent for the occasion.

I think considering what we have endured over the past few years, it will be good for general moral. My eighty year old friend is really looking forward to it.
