Members of the 2nd Alton Boys’ Brigade Company obtained road closure orders and managed traffic for a procession of 1,000 young people to Winchester Cathedral to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee on May 20.

The idea of the county-wide event came from Lord-Lieutenant of Hampshire Nigel Atkinson and it was organised by the Hampshire Youth Network.

The 1st Chandler’s Ford Boys’ Brigade brass band played to welcome everyone and there was also music from the Scouts’ Spitfire band, an address by Canon Andy Trenier and three cheers for the Queen.
