The folk of Galloway Road decked the street with red, white and blue bunting, as well as Union flags, and even crowned their own street king and queen – residents Dave and Susan Pearce.

Dave was handed the crown by Christine Riley, who had received the purple and gold head piece as the street’s longest established resident last year, during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
