An Oldham pub has made an early march on their Jubilee celebrations - with patriotic décor up for the past MONTH. The Coach and Horses in Waterhead is known for being something of a party pub.
But the wealth of flags, bunting and Queen cardboard cut-outs have been causing a stir for the past few weeks at the pub based on the main Huddersfield Road through the Oldham village. The Queen's Platinum Jubilee will be formerly celebrated with a four-day bank holiday weekend starting from Thursday, June 2.
But the Coach and Horses' décor has been up since the end of April. Pub landlady Lesley Howard admits the decorations went up early because she "got her dates mixed up" initially - but says that regulars are now loving getting into the party spirit so has kept them up to celebrate for a full month.
