A group of pensioners have been entering into the jubilee spirit at a Stafford church.
Groups for the Retired who meet at the Church Lane Evangelical Church in the town gathered to enjoy a patriotic morning of celebrations for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
The celebrations yesterday included songs from the Queen's 60-year reign and a royal quiz.
The highlight of the day was a service of celebration, led by Pastor John Marshall, which followed the original coronation service of Queen Elizabeth, including the theme for the service and the hymns sung.
A buffet lunch followed.
One of the organisers, Elaine Johns said: "About 80 people from Stafford and surrounding areas have come along.
"We have a number of mornings for the retired that we run, and we had them all come along. It's been a lovely and happy time and the age range has been from 60 years old to 96 years old.
"We organised the event as everyone wanted to mark the Jubilee. We came up with some little ideas to make it a fun and happy time."
