    One Wiltshire community centre hosted a Platinum Jubilee Celebration that was literally an all-singing and all-dancing.

    The Pinetrees Community Centre in Pinehurst, Swindon, was the place for locals to enjoy the celebrations which came in the form of a dance festival and street party.

    Isabella Sharma, aged 10, was one of the dancers who had been practicing her Bollywood routine ahead of the big event.

    "I'm feeling really excited because I love to dance and I'm going to be participating in the Queen's Jubilee event," she said.

    Street food stalls, face painting and performances from local choirs were all part of the day.
