A spokeswoman from Ferring Parish Council said: “Her Majesty the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee is a milestone that the vast majority of us will not see again, so Ferring Parish Council wanted to help bring the whole village together to celebrate this unique event from June 2 to June 4.

“It is a fantastic opportunity to reinvigorate community spirit after the last 2 years have seen so much isolation.”
