There is a royal combination in one of the town’s planters.

On Abingdon Bridge, there were union jacks.

Boats are also decorated and have prime position for the four days of activity at Rye Meadows.

The Finishing Touch has put up their Jubilee window display,

as has Masons in Bath Street.

The bollards along the front of the Market Place have got crochet covers –

Preparations are going ahead for the Meadow Jubilee Festival. Today, the grass was cut.

Last Friday, there were a group of people with campervans on the land.

By Sunday, they had gone, and a dozen red kites swooped around the area.

Today the grass was cut, and a marquee was being erected.

Looking at the town council website, ‘ The planned concert on Wednesday had to be cancelled as the site could not be prepared in time due to travellers having taken up residence the week before.’

Events will be free to anybody attending. Anybody who has bought a ticket can get a refund. More details at https://www.abingdon.gov.uk/platinum-jubilee-2022.
