The Cotswolds came together to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

Towns and villages across the area made the most of the extended bank holiday weekend, with a wide range of celebrations taking place.

While street parties were the norm for much of the country, Moreton took another approach, with a 13-team football tournament.

A spokesperson for Moreton Rangers FC said: “Thank you so much to everyone who came and supported our Jubilee event yesterday.

“Huge thank you to our volunteers, helpers and venders for making it a success.

“It was a shame the rain arrived but we hope those that stuck with it had a great day/evening.

“Congratulations to Mickleton Rangers on winning our Jubilee Cup and all other teams that took part.”

Across in Stow, it was the local primary school taking charge of Jubilee celebrations.

Ahead of the weekend, Stow on the Wold Primary School helped dress the Wells in Well Lane.

After researching how wells are dressed in other areas and in Stow’s past, each class designed a board celebrating Her Majesty’s reign.

Head teacher Rebecca Scutt said: “It has been wonderful being able to celebrate together as a community and we are really looking forward to continuing with our festivities over the Jubilee weekend at King George’s Field.

“The children have learnt so much about the Queen, the Jubilee in the past and of course the history of our own town and The Wells which look so spectacular for the town and for our visitors.”

Cotswold District Councillor for Stow, Dilys Neill, said: "I attended a couple of events in Stow, the concert on the Saturday night which showcased local talent and was very enjoyable, and the civic service on Sunday morning which was very well organised and attended."

Gloucestershire County Councillor for Bourton, Paul Hodgkinson, attended the village's beacon lighting on Thursday and returned on Sunday for the Jubilee Flotilla and various activities taking place on the village green.

He said: "Both days were fantastic. There were many hundreds of people and the sight of the beacon being lit was amazing.

"On the Sunday, I spoke to lots of residents and volunteers who were on the green to let local people know about the good work they do - mental health charity Headspace, Probus, Rotary and others. O

"One of the highlights was having an audience with Bourton’s very own Queen, Molly Wise, who was wowing the visitors by the river."

In Chipping Norton the main event was the Town Festival.

Musicians, local businesses and even Clarkson’s Farm star Kaleb Cooper all got involved in the festivities.

Beverley Lane, one of the festival's organisers, said: "We were delighted to have such a great turn out for the Chipping Norton Jubilee Town Festival on Sunday and see the town come together to enjoy music, food and craft and charity stalls.

"Huge thanks go to the Festival Committee who have worked tirelessly over the past few months, to our sponsors, raffle prize donators and volunteers on the day.

"All proceeds will go back into the community to support local charities and organisations. "

Meanwhile, the Travelling Fair arrived in Broadway, a tradition which has spanned almost 300 years.

The parade and beacon lighting on Thursday kicked off the celebrations ahead of a jam-packed weekend of activities, including street parties, live music, classic car displays, and cream tea.
