Over 30 roads will be closed across Warwick district as residents celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.

Warwick District Council announced last month that streets could apply to be shut to host street parties across the bank holiday weekend.

There will also be much bigger celebrations in town's across the area with Warwick Town Council hosting a community event in Market Square on Thursday 2 June between 11am and 4pm.

Cllr Andrew Day, leader of WDC, said: "I'm delighted that our teams have pulled out all the stops to ensure that residents are able to celebrate this unique moment in history, coming together as a community after a difficult couple of years.

"I wish all those celebrating over the Bank Holiday weekend a wonderful time – I'm keeping my fingers crossed for blue skies and bright sunshine!"

This will include:

• Wathen Road – from Lyttleton Road to Peel Road, (10am to 10pm on Friday 3)
