North Edinburgh celebrates Diamond Jubilee

Maybe we didn’t have the sheer number of parties, but what we lacked in quantity we made up for in quality and enthusiasm when north Edinburgh celebrated the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee yesterday – and we had summer sunshine too!

Her Majesty herself made a surprise appearance at Holy Cross in Davidsons Mains (above), while a giant bear was seen dancing at an event organised by Stockbridge Colonies (below)!

And Wardieburn couple Marc and Joanne Blackburn organised a party for friends and neighbours at the local Salvation Army hall after they won a competition ran by local supermarket Iceland. Some revellers travelled from as far afield as Sunderland to join the Wardieburn event!

  1. Granger hairdressers went to town for the queen, it is so nice seeing folk trying to keep the happiness and spirit alive … Our life is so very short enjoy people xxxx Rebecca x

  2. Great to see people enjoying themselves and celebrating 60 wonderful years. I for one felt sad at the lack of party atmosphere on a wider level. Well done to all those who organised and attended.
