Spofforth celebrated the Queen’s platinum jubilee in style with a party fit for kings and queens.
It was the first knees up the village has had since the covid pandemic and Spofforth Cricket Club was full of families letting their hair down and enjoying themselves.
Spofforth platinum jubilee committee organised a party with a helter-skelter, bouncy castle, biscuit painting, face painting, BBQ, a magician and more.
The afternoon kicked off with a parade of the kings and queens of England where children dressed up as their favourite monarch from history.
Spofforth resident Bernie baked 100 biscuits for children to decorate and take home to eat.
She said:
“It’s been really nice to do something together at last.”
