The country is going through a severe bunting shortage as Brits decorate their homes and streets for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee .
Bunting, normally a string of flags or coloured fabric, is a traditional part of UK public celebrations - and those don't come much bigger than the Jubilee.
Street parties are set to take place up and down the UK, with 573 events listed near London alone on the four-day Bank Holiday from Thursday 2 to Sunday June 5.
