Preparing for a Diamond Jubilee street party

Figures show that that councils in England and Wales have received almost 9,500 road closure applications for Diamond Jubilee street parties.

One of these parties is in Halesowen where preparations are well under way. Jeanette Smith and Louise Bowen are organising a large street party with around 350 people expected.

Festivities will take place across the UK from 2 June to 5 June, to mark 60 years of the Queen's reign.
