The sun was shining for the Jubilee big lunch at Coronation Park/Boating Lake.

Helston Mayor Tim Grattan-Kane told Nub News: "Nationally it has been a great celebration of a historic event. Locally, there have been lots of events in the streets.

"The big lunch is a chance for the whole town to come down and celebrate with our wonderfully successful band in beautiful surroundings.

"Community events are really important. Most of the people attending have only ever known one monarch. Let's celebrate that and make the most of it after two pretty miserable years."
