Street Party Prestatyn . Lots of parties managed to get some amount of sponsorship this particular party had much of its food donated by local but national business Iceland .

Just as I set this shot up a guy walked behind and grabbed the ' Princess ' Just got one shot off before he disappeared !!   



Yesterday was spent chasing round Denbighshire getting photos of street parties in the region . I had a list of where some were and found others either by chance or word of mouth .


As much as yesterday was a bit of a slog ( clocked up about 200 miles I think ) it was great to see communities out together young and old enjoying the event . I'm pretty sure that many ,  if not most , like myself are  not really royalists but what a great excuse for a community get together . It was great to see such community spirit in the region . I kinda wish there was more royal weddings . 


I did catch a small part of the ceremony as there was not much going on while the royal couple were getting hitched . I think Nick Clegg should have sat on David Camerons knee during the ceremony , that would have freed up a seat for someone else , maybe Brown or Blair ...( That's Bobby or Lionel ) .
