The bunting is up and the sun is out in West Berkshire as residents line their streets for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
Thousands of streets will be closing across the country as the nation celebrates the Queen's 70 year reign- a once in a lifetime event.
The weather has so far been glorious and the fun has truly begun with the town crier proclaiming the start of the celebrations in Newbury and Thatcham.
Waving the flag...
Over 60 streets across the district have been granted road closures this bank holiday weekend with residents coming out for street parties and wider town events.
Here are some of the highlights that have been captured this weekend:
