By the Jubilee Stone in King's Stairs Gardens there was a commemoration of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee yesterday afternoon.
Sir Simon Hughes gave a speech about the Queen's reign, the story of the Jubilee Stone and the story of the Queen's visit for the Silver Jubilee, and that of Prince Edward for the Golden and Diamond Jubilee was recounted.
The Esperance band of Morris dancers then beautifully performed some traditional dances.
After that everyone joined in with the National Anthem, and then the eldest person present, a lady born in the same decade as the Queen, led us in three cheers for Her Majesty.
It was a great prelude to the wider jubilee celebrations that will occur in June.
