CELEBRATIONS for the Jubilee are starting to flower in Witney.

A flower bed for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee next weekend was planted in Langdale Gate on Tuesday as part of a host of initiatives in the town to mark the Jubilee celebrations.

The site will soon bloom into a colourful design of purple and gold.

Town council Jubilee working party chairman Chrissie Curry said: “It looks fantastic and all the plants will come into fullness in 10 days’ time, just in time for the Jubilee.”
