Blyth Parish Council and the village’s Jubilee Committee have shared the success of their four-day weekend of celebrations for the Platinum Jubilee.
Thursday, June 2, saw the village come together as a beacon was lit for the Queen’s Jubilee Beacons at Moore’s Farm.
A cornet player from Harworth Brass performed a piece of music specifically composed for the event before the beacon was lit at 9.45pm.
The following day saw Blyth Cricket Club host a party in the park from 3pm to 8pm, set up with a BBQ and bar to keep the adults happy, and games for the children.
The event also included a performance by the Wilson Ellis Band.
On Saturday, June 4, the village green saw a bring your own picnic event, though The White Swan pub was kept busy.
Residents and visitors were kept entertained with performances from a singer and Harworth Brass Band, and a fancy dress and best-decorated house competition was also held.
The Red Hart pub kept everyone partying into the night with a disco, and ‘superbly’ hard-working bar staff.
A family service was held on Sunday at St Mary and St Martin's Church, followed by tea and cakes.
Cheryl Day, clerk to Blyth Parish Council, said: “What a great weekend of celebrations for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
“Thank you to all those who made the events happen and everyone who helped out."
