One of the trustees of Let's Feed Brum, Alan Strang, told LBC he was "delighted" to be hosting the jubilee street party for the street community of Birmingham."People have travelled a long way – some of them with great hardship to get here – so whatever the weather we will be here in some shape or form."
He went on to say: "Everybody is welcome. Whatever your circumstances, today should be a celebration and if it's to do with the jubilee, the more the better, but if it's just being with friends and enjoying a hot drink and something nice to eat then we're also very happy they've come along to join us."Partygoers in St Albans were not put off by the rain either, with people enjoying food and drink under the cover of gazebos.
Prince Charles was overheard telling people how much he was enjoying the sense of community the Jubilee weekend has brought, saying it was "great" that everyone had 'come together'.
