The extended bank holiday weekend, to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, is nearly upon us and we'd love to hear what the NappyValleyNet community is doing to celebrate this special occasion.

Will you be attending a Big Jubilee Lunch street party? Are you planning on heading into Central London to experience some of the events put on by the Palace or are you off to the Derby at Epsom? Perhaps you're a local business who's putting on something extra special over the four day bank holiday weekend?

Whatever your plans are do please share them with the NappyValleyNet community below, and don't forget to dig out those Union Jack flags and bunting!
