The Queen attended the Kingsley Platinum Jubilee picnic – in two-dimensional form.

A life-sized cardboard cut-out of Her Majesty, dressed in white and giving picknickers the royal wave, stood as if emerging from an open door of the first aid hut.

Plenty of bunting and an ice cream van added to the celebratory mood.

Spokesperson Stephen King said: “The picnic was well attended and we would like to thank all those people who supported the party.

“Thank you for the support the Herald gave us. It is very much appreciated by us all.”
