Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations continue for second day across Greater Manchester as hundreds turn out to party
On the second day of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations, hundreds of people across Greater Manchester came out to celebrate with plenty of food, games and bunting.
Streets across Stockport, Romiley and Bury were lined with homemade red, white and blue bunting, as well as flags and banners showing Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. There were also special appearances from the Queen herself, along with Kate Middleton, in Romiley, in the form of mannequins.
