Celebrations for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee will come alive with traditional food, drinks, and plenty of song and dance.

Residents planning to celebrate Her Majesty's landmark achievement in the street were asked to submit a road closure application to the council.

This means that around 100 roads around the county will be closed to traffic at various points between June 2 and June 5.

Roy Aldcroft, Shropshire Council deputy cabinet member for communities, culture, leisure and tourism, said: "We are delighted to have been able to help so many people with their plans to celebrate Her Majesty the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

"We hope everyone enjoys their celebration and lots of fun is had by all our communities across the county.

"The Shropshire Council website has a handy page full of tips and advice for people who may be looking for some last minute inspiration too."
