IT may have not been the best of days weather wise yesterday (Sunday) but Skipton High Street was packed for the Platinum Jubilee street party, marking the end of four days of celebrations marking the Queen's more than 70 years on the throne.

Organised by Skipton Town Council, the event included a fun fair, and live entertainment on a stage in the High Street.

Tables lined the street for party-goers to sit and eat food and drink, on sale from stalls in the High Street.

Musician Steve Miller also made an appearance, on a whistle-stop tour of the North West recreating the moment 20 years ago when Queen guitarist Brian May played God Save the Queen on the roof of Buckingham Palace. Steve, who plays with Queen tribute band, QueenEsque was attempting to perform God Save the Queen on as many roof tops and stages within 12 hours to raise money for Comic Relief.

There was also a giant screen in the town hall, live screening celebration events taking place in London - just like in 1953 when the then local authority had televisions in the concert hall, with one connected up to a large screen, for the over 65s to watch the live coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.
