‘It’s about the people’: communities come together for jubilee street parties

Neighbours say platinum jubilee celebrations have helped them come closer together during tough times

When I woke up this morning, I thought, Oh my god is anyone going to come?'," said Annie Hobart, talking about the hastily planned jubilee street party she and neighbour, Aysha Rahman, organised just three weeks ago.

We weren't sure how it was going to happen, but it's come together nicely," said Rahman. The pair were thrilled to see so many faces at their party in Moseley, south Birmingham. It's really nice to see so many people here," said Hobart.
