Hundreds gather at events in Spen Valley to celebrate Queen's Platinum Jubilee

Hundreds of residents, friends and neighbours gathered at events around the Spen Valley today (Saturday) to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.

Oakenshaw Residents’ Association organised the Oakenshaw Community Big Jubilee Lunch in the gardens of St Andrew’s Church in the village.

The Friends of Cleckheaton Library and Cleckheaton in Bloom teamed up for an event in the library grounds featuring stalls, displays, children's activities and refreshments.

St John's Church in Cleckheaton turned the clock back 70 years for a 1950s themed afternoon which took guests back to the time of the Queen's Coronation.

And more than 140 residents on Cornmill Avenue and Cornmill Drive in Liversedge gathered for a street party to celebrate the Jubilee.
