Southwark celebrates
The Queen's Jubilee

From Bankside to Beddington, Denmark Hill to Limpsfield, Southwark celebrated the Queen's Golden Jubilee at the beginning of June. The national festival was celebrated in style on the south bank of the Thames as Southwark Cathedral and Borough Market welcomed the thousands who came to play and pray on Sunday 2 June, for a day of "Southwark Jubilation".

In Clapham, HRH Princess Alexandra and Sir Angus Ogilvy 'dropped in' on St Peter's parish Jubilee street party (photo right) and in Tolworth over 1,000 people joined Emmanuel Church's community celebrations including a local 'It's a Knockout' contest (below).

In Addiscombe, at St Mildred's, a choir 'family barbecue' grew into a major community event; St Michaels, Beddington, used the Jubilee to raise money for Chernobyl children and the balloons went up on Denmark Hill as the Jubilee was marked with the first ever 'Three Hills Festival'. In fact, all over the Diocese, there were fundays, flower festivals, special church services, parish lunches, you name it, you did it!

Here and in Parish Jubilee News & Cathedral Jubilee News are just some of the stories and photos of the Jubilee in Southwark Diocese
