There are lots of events taking place and Flags will be flying with pride. Many Street Parties will have Union Jack Decorations, Bunting and Tableware. There is a National Event including a parade taking place in Plymouth. We would love to know if you are going to any of these events.

With the Jubilee Weekend nearly here I have finally got myself organised for my Traditional Royal Tea. Everything will be Union Jack Themed from the Flags and Bunting for decorating my house to The Union Jack Tableware for serving the finger sandwiches, royal cupcakes and scones. There will also be lots of Royal Hats and Accessories for everyone to enjoy. We hope that you all have a wonderful Jubilee weekend and would love to know how you will be celebrating.
