HYNDBURN residents are being urged to join in the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations by holding street parties.
Coun Ciaran Wells, who is leading the preparations for Hyndburn’'s Summer of Celebration said: “This summer is going to be massive for Hyndburn as we are set to welcome the Queen here as part of her Diamond Jubilee Tour and we’ve also got the Olympic Flame coming through the borough.
“So we want everyone to join in our Summer of Celebration and celebrate with their friends, family and neighbours by holding a street party.”
Summer of Celebration plans run from June 2 to 5, and will include a fair and family activities in Accrington town centre and the Great Harwood Agricultural Show.
Towns across Hyndburn will be hanging out the bunting and flower beds and hanging baskets will bring a splash of colour.
