Street parties
Richmond borough will be hosting 196 street parties over the Bank Holiday.
Richmond Council encouraged residents to take part in the festivities by waiving the administration fee for street party road closures.
Council Leader, Cllr Gareth Roberts, said: "Last year over 300 residential streets celebrated the late Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee, bringing together neighbours, family and friends. Sadly, a lot has changed since then, but this year we find ourselves celebrating a coronation."
