Celebrity judges, silent disco and a singsong
The villages and communities surrounding Maidenhead sang with music, talking and laughter on all four days of the jubilee.
A street party in Burchetts Green raised around £870 for Ukraine. Among the activities was a silent disco, penalty shoot-out on the green and a treasure hunt.
There was also a children’s Queen portrait competition and royal cake-baking competition with some ‘amazing’ puddings.
Meanwhile, Littlewick Green celebrated with some traditional games including a sack race, egg-and-spoon and tug of war. There was also a rounders tournament and a dog show.
Alongside this there was a heritage display in the village hall and the new balcony was officially opened.
In Fifield, a street party was held outside the Fifield Inn on Sunday, with attendees dressed in 1950s style or as Royals for a best-dressed competition.
On Saturday, The Holyport Community Trust (HCT) hosted a Platinum Party at the village hall in Moneyrow Green.
Gill Hudson of the HCT said: “Everybody was so happy to be together as a village again. It felt like the village is back. The jubilee is a wonderful way of celebrating that.”
The day before there was a picnic on Holyport
Green with Ollie Henry performing on stage. Around 2,000 people showed up.
Cookham High Street was closed to traffic for a street party that also saw about 2,000 people.
The street enjoyed singing from Cookham Kids, fancy dress and cake competitions with celebrity judges Ross Kemp and Wendy Craig, and new mayor Councillor Christine Bateson.
They finished the day with a singalong of classics such as Sweet Caroline, Delilah and
God Save the Queen among others.
Maidenhead MP Theresa May popped down to Cookham’s street party, as well as those of Littlewick Green and Sonning.
