York garden party for Queen's Jubilee
Celebrations are in full swing across York and North Yorkshire
Around 600 invited guests from across Yorkshire will attend a Garden Party in York today. It's being hosted by The Lord Lieutenant of North Yorkshire and The Archbishop of York, in the Deanery Garden at York Minster. The event is being held to thank members of the community for their voluntary service and in particular, their contributions during the pandemic.
Meanwhile a special service of Choral Evensong will take place tonight. There will be special prayers, readings and celebratory music sung by the Choir of York Minster and the Archbishop of York will preach at the service.
The bells of York Minster will ring out across the city throughout the Jubilee weekend. The Minster’s volunteer bell ringers are planning a number of complex peal attempts to honour HM The Queen.
