Thousands of people across Greater Manchester have kicked off the four-day Bank Holiday weekend in style with a selection of sun-soaked street parties to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
With streets decked out in red, white, and blue bunting, and flags commemorating the momentous occasion, it wasn't difficult to get into the Jubilee spirit, especially at some of the planned celebrations across the region.
Over in Oldham, the Middleton and Chadderton Sea Cadets hosted a large celebration, attended by the town's Mayor Elaine Garry, which not only paid tribute to the Queen's 70 years on the throne, but also to some of the cadets themselves.
