Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in villages across Cornwall

From Stithians to St Keverne, across to Breage and beyond, community spirit has been in full display in the villages of Cornwall to mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.

Events have included fun days in St Keverne, Coverack and St Martin, while Manaccan, St Anthony and Helford joined forces for a village show, tea party and disco.

Despite the drizzle on Saturday a full street party still took place in Breage organised by Karen Badger and Gill Hughes with a team of volunteers. Tables lined the street underneath Union Jack bunting as people tucked into sandwiches, cupcakes and fizz, with residents of Breage House care home among them.

Stithians Methodist Chapel fared better with the weather, holding their event on Friday underneath brilliant blue skies and some of the hottest sunshine of the year so far.

In Mullion celebrations included flower festival in the parish church, organised by the Friends of St Mellanus.
