Her Majesty The Queen celebrated 70 years of service last weekend as residents across Preston took to the streets to throw Platinum Jubilee street parties.

On Sunday, 6 February 2022, Queen Elizabeth II became the first British monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, marking 70 years of service to the United Kingdom, the Realms and the Commonwealth.

To honour the occasion, millions of residents across the country united in their appreciation of the monarch by decorating their local streets with patriotic colours and Union Jacks, holding parties, baking, and enjoying food and drink with their neighbours.

And in Preston, the city followed suit with an array of impressive parties joining local communities in celebration, leading to some incredible images.
