Thousands of visitors descended on a Crewe park over the extended bank holiday weekend - celebrating the Queen's 70-year anniversary.
The Platinum Jubilee celebration event took place at Queens Park on Friday (June 3).
It was free entry for all to come inside the park, taking place from 11am until 6pm.
There were over 60 stalls of attractions for visitors to enjoy - including two headline music acts.
Rolling Stones tribute band, Tumblin' Dice and popular Cheshire group, The Gospel Truth Soul Band performed on the park's stage for an hour a piece.
Some of the activities included dancing, gymnastics, crafts, orb balls, birds of prey, face painting, giants arrows and an inflatable maze.
There was also a classic car display, fire engine display, climbing wall, Strong Man, fancy dress competition, and 'Paws in the park,' Alpha Omega Dog Show.
Lead Vocalist of The Gospel Truth Soul Band, Nikki Hicks told Nub News: "I've never seen the Park so full.
"There was a real sense of community and everyone was having a great time.
"The Gospel Truth Soul Band received such a welcoming response from the crowd, and many lovely comments were recieved after the gig.
"We were honoured to be asked to perform at such a great event that will always be remembered as the event that brought people together."
Adults enjoyed a bar close to the love music stage with tables and chairs to enjoy a pint.
Food and drink was also on offer, with a hot food stall, hot drink stall, an ice cream van and donut van.
Stall holder at the event, Mandy Arrowsmith told Nub News: "We had a stall on the day and it was a brilliant day. There were loads of people with lots of stalls and things to watch or do.
"People turned up in droves and with their dogs for the dog show."
Mrs Arrowsmith from Crewe, ran the M & J menagerie stall in the craft tent at the event.
She added: "We need events like this for the town folk to enjoy."
