Did you have a street party for the Queen's silver jubilee?

Question

I'm betting that not many people on here were even born in 1977, but I can live in hope...

For some reason we had the group Heatwave play at ours.

Answer 1

Yep, remember it well!  Lots of flags in the street, tables down the middle of the road, lots to eat and drink!!  I don't think we had anyone famous come to ours, though!!  I do remember being given a silver 'crown', like a two pound coin.  I kept if for ages and then lost it.

Answer 2

Nope, I was still baking when that took place.

Answer 3

Yes we had a street party up and down the whole length of the street. Only time it's happened and I doubt something like that would happen again now. My brother went to a fancy dress competition dressed as a stamp - quite funny when you look at the photos but my mum did a really good job.

Answer 4

Unforunately, these days, because of the PC Idiots, street parties would be banned as it they would say it might upset the fecking ethnics living in the UK.

Answer 5

No did`nt have a street party but I ate a cake on the pavement.

Answer 6

Yes we did....However, the heatwave was in 1976, im sure 1977 was hot too. I remember the street party, but didnt really know what it was all about, my mum remembers more about it though, I was 12 and it was just fun fun fun.

Answer 7

Yes, I lived in a cul de sac and we had huge trestle tables out down at the bottom loaded with food, bunting and ballons and music and dancing...we all had a great time...old and young alike....not saying how old I was but I do have a coronation mug!!!!

Answer 8

We had a party in a neighbour's garden, not in the street, but all the neighbours were invited. We had to wear red, white and/or blue, I remember, because I ended up borrowing my brother's top because all my clothes were the wrong colours.

Answer 9

I was in London for the Silver Jubilee, the Jubilee, and (one

hopes) the Diamond Jubilee.

Answer 10

I wasn't even a little sperm back then..Ooh Lynn, showing your age! Hehe, i'm only joking xx
