JUBILEE fever has drawn to a close after a long-weekend of celebrations.

From street parties to royal picnics, the city and its residents pulled out all the stops to celebrate the Queen’s platinum jubilee.

Brighton and Hove City Council approved 81 road closures for street parties across the weekend. The parties ranged in time, with some lasting as long as 12 hours.

In Tidy Street in Brighton, residents pulled together to put on a family-friendly event.

Duncan Tune said their street party was open to guests of all ages – from new-borns to grandparents.

“It’s very much a family-friendly party,” he said.

“We’re having barbecues, and everyone brings out food and drinks.

“There's some skittles, badminton and sports day activities like egg and spoon race for the children.

“And then there’s a microphone available for people to come and play some music.”

Duncan, whose partner Rosie helped organise the party, said he was grateful the weather held off long enough for people to enjoy the day.

Elsewhere in Brighton, royal fan Simon de Wolfe says he purchased his Union Jack suit specifically for the Queen’s jubilee celebrations.

Simon, who revealed he bought the bold attire to wear to a street party in Cheltenham Place, Brighton, said he still has aspirations of meeting a royal.

“I’ve met a few duke’s in my time, but I’ve never met any members of the upper echelons of the royal family,” he said.

“I think I probably would quite like to meet the royal family. I think it’d be rather amusing.

“I have nearly met a member of the royal family, but then ended up getting a secondary person.

“I received an imperial service medal, and it was supposed to be handed over by a member of the royal family. But a deputy stepped in last minute so hopefully almost. Very almost.”

It wasn’t just locals enjoying the festivities the city had to offer, however.

Susan Roach and her friends spent the afternoon outside a Union Jack-clad The Waggon and Horses pub in Brighton.

“The festivities have come to an end. But it’s been nice weather, and everyone had dressed up and had a great time,” she said.
