Platinum Jubilee Street Party in Cuckfield, West Sussex. Image: Kirsty Warren, Ⓒ Cuckfield Life
Over 1,200 people sat down and enjoyed the special Friday Bank Holiday for HM The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
The High Street had been closed from first thing in the morning, and an army of volunteers set up with chairs, trestle tables and decorated them with red, white and blue tablecloths and ribbons on lampposts.
The event went off without a hitch and was a huge success. Many helpers were involved but the main organisation and planning was done by a team of eight – Den Jordan, Dean Harding, Mike Schlup, Belinda Campopiano, Andrew Leask, Steve Wilcock, Sam Heynes (Parish Clerk) and Lindy Elphick – who all organised this incredible day, which truly brought together all ages and stages to eat, drink, sing and dance on the special occasion.
