As part of the Jubilee celebrations, communities all around the country celebrated with street parties. Roads were closed to traffic and tables were set up for everyone to enjoy a feast of food. Usually people brought food with them to share as well as food provided by the organisers and the community group. The party my eldest grandchildren attended had a live band as well as lots of fun games for the children and adults.
Red, white and blue decorations were everywhere. I spotted this unusual one in Mayfair. It has to take first prize for originality.
I was in Mayfair last Friday and came across this street party which had an open invitation to everyone. The tables were beautifully decorated with plants and flowers.
Entry was through this flower arch.
There were lots of places to buy food along the street and take your place at one of the tables.
There was also a food market on the street in this deconsecrated church. There was a wide variety of food and drink available.
I was there with my daughter and we had a great time together.
So good you had a nice time with your daughter and saw the sights. But last post The Mall then Sloan Square, this post Mayfair? You're not getting above your station are you?
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to enjoy the Jubilee celebrations in summer. The street parties with tables offering drinks, wonderful foods, attractive plants and flowers would not have been as much fun in dripping wet.
ReplyDeleteThis celebration was really amazing for your country. Quite a boom to morale after all the pandemic misery.
ReplyDeleteThere were a lot going on around here, one village closing the main street, we did not attend any and our street never had one but then it was the main road through the village
ReplyDeleteIt was quite laid back here, the tv channels all held documentaries on the Queen and I must say myself I think she's done a very good job of being our monarchy over the years.
