The Queen celebrated her Golden Jubilee with a massive party in her back garden with pop stars galore and a spectacular firework display. She celebrated her Silver Jubilee at St Paul's Cathedral with 2,700 specially selected guests. Across Great Britain people put flags out and celebrated the day. But how was the Jubilee for you?

Did it go with a bang and a massive street party? Or did you have a quiet one watching the celebrations on the TV?

Breckland Council are encouraging residents to share their memories and be part of the Breckland memories festival.

Cllr Lynda Turner, Executive member for Localism, Communities and Environmental Awareness said; “The festival will involve people of all ages by looking at memorabilia and stories from the Queen’s Coronation in 1953 up to and including her Diamond Jubilee next year. We are hoping to create an archive to pass on to future generations and we need your help to build an exhibition of memories, stories, pictures, songs from the past 60 years.”

If you are a community group, school, or individual of any age who would like to take part in the council workshops and events, or if you have any memorabilia that the Council could borrow or copy please contact Laura Apps Green on 01362 656870.
