Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations in the borough
This page is about celebrating the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in the borough.
June 2012 marks the historic achievement of Her Majesty the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. 
We want to encourage local residents to come together and celebrate over the extended bank holiday weekend of 2 to 5 June.
We hope that the celebrations will bring out a real sense of local community spirit and we would like to help people organise their festivities across the borough.
We will have further information about the borough’s events here in the near future.
For details of other events throughout Surrey you can also go to the Surrey Lieutenancy website.
