This year Her Majesty the Queen became the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, marking 70 years of service to the people of the United Kingdom, the Realms, and the Commonwealth.  The four-day UK bank holiday weekend marks the culmination of many events.

“A huge thank you must go to the people of Shaw and Crompton who have come together and embraced the idea of celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.  There are so many events happening in the community from individual street parties, to local pubs holding events, shop windows being dressed and a fantastic display of union flag plus so much more” said Cllr Williamson.

Please come and join us and have a fantastic weekend.
