As people across the country plan to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in a couple of weeks, one street in Bristol will be joining the party in a way that reflects and celebrates multicultural modern Britain. The volunteer-led celebration, supported by over 30 local businesses, will use the day to honour people in the community along St Marks Road in Easton.
The event, organised by St Marks Road Community Group, will include an open day at the local mosque to celebrate the positive contributions made by Muslims in Britain. The presentation of the history of Muslims will include a talk from the great-grandson one of the first Muslims to arrive in Bristol.
In addition to the Union Jack bunting that will be hung along the street, the local church will celebrate the diversity of its congregation, which is made up of people from all over the world. They will hang flags of the world up in the building, alongside a photo display.
