Diamond Jubilee Downs Day 2012

Crowds head to Durdham Down for Diamond Jubilee Celebrations

Walking over the downs was a most enjoyable stroll to the Avon Gorge Sea Wall at Durdham Down on Diamond Jubilee Monday.  The weather was perfect for performaces,  picnics, butterflies, balloons and beacons!

A fitting end for people of all ages to come together and celebrate HM The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.
