Seaton reveals plans to mark Queen’s jubilee
Fireworks and a massive picnic are amongst events planned to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Monarch’s reign
SEATON is planning to celebrate the Queen’s diamond jubilee in royal style next year.
The town council is joining forces with local organisations to present a bumper weekend of festivities “the town can be proud of”.
The celebrations will take place over the Bank Holiday weekend of June 2-5, and will aim to reflect the events Buckingham Palace has organised for the Queen.
The Seaton programme will feature a giant Jubilee picnic lunch at Cliff Field Gardens on Sunday June 3, with entertainment and fun for all the family.
And on Monday, June 4 there will be a variety of activities on the beach and around the town to include:
* A bicycle Epsom Derby.
