Beacons,parties,town criers, food and music swept the region for The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee extended bank holiday weekend.
In an amazing show of respect for the 96-year-old monarch’s 70 years service to the UK and Commonwealth, Dumfries and Galloway’s towns, villages, work places and homes pulled out the stops to celebrate. Children – who were given Thursday and Friday as a holiday – had already marked the Jubilee in their schools in the run up to the weekend and now joined with their families in celebration.
