PLANS are coming together in Lyme Regis for an exciting programme of music, entertainment and community celebration to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in June.
Over the weekend of June 2-5, the town will join the nation in marking the historic occasion, with a big fireworks finale on the Sunday.
The celebrations coincide with the town's Jazz Jurassica festival, four days of 'cool jazz, gritty blues and sassy soul.'
Jubilee celebrations begin on the Thursday with a torchlight procession from Langmoor Gate. Sunday, June 5 is the main event starting with the Jubilee Picnic in the seafront gardens in the late afternoon.
There will be music from the talented young musicians of B Sharp and the traditional brass strains of Lyme Regis Town Band, as well as dancing from Lyme Morris.
As evening falls, all attention will turn to the main stage on the beach, where the spectacular BBC Big Band will perform. The fireworks are at 10pm.
