Scores of street parties took place across Greater Manchester on a wet Bank Holiday Sunday after people decided to brave the rain to celebrate the Queen's Jubilee. A few events were called off or brought forward after the Met Office issued a yellow warning for thunderstorms across most of England for today (June 5).
However, in the true spirit of an often drizzly-Manchester, many organisers decided to throw caution to the wind and went ahead with their celebrations as planned, coming up with inventive ways to keep partygoers dry.
