Here is a round-up of just some of the events that have already taken place across Huntingdonshire as part of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

A Picnic Day was held in Hemingford Abbots Park. There was some good old fashioned family fun and games, including sack and three-legged races, wet sponge throwing at the village stocks, tug-of-war and cake baking competitions. We also have some quirky pics of some of the decorations in the village.
