Party goers in the royal borough are either true patriots or just set for a right royal knees-up, as celebrations are planned to fill roads across Surrey on the day of the royal wedding.

Kingston Council received 40 applications and Elmbridge Council received a further 25 for street parties today, the day Catherine Middleton will walk up the aisle to marry Prince William.

Happy memories of street parties thrown to celebrate the Queen’s Silver Jubilee in 1977 have prompted one Tolworth couple to organise their own event.

Helen and Kyle Robinson have brought Tolworth Road together to plan a day of celebrations on the day of the royal wedding.

Mr Robinson said: "From a community point of view it’s been fantastic.

"We remember street parties for the Jubilee and we get on with our neighbours really well but don’t know everyone else on our road so I think it will be a good opportunity.

"We have had people who won’t even be able to be there who have contributed."

Plans for the day include live music, fancy dress, competitions, games and plenty of food.

Hersham mums wanting to bring their community together have planned a picnic for all to enjoy on the day of the royal wedding.

Jennifer Dinkeldein and Sallie Edwards approached the village church to ask if they could use their plot of land after deciding that a streets worth of celebrations wouldn’t be enough.

Mrs Edwards said: "This is the big Hersham Village Street Party, but in a field so we can accommodate everyone who wants to join in the celebrations, and give them lots of exciting things to do."

Families and residents of all ages are invited to the picnic which is being held in Vauxmead Field from 1pm to 5pm on April 29.

Mrs Dinkeldein said: "We want to turn the field into a sea of red, white and blue, people to bring their own rugs, picnic and drinks, people can dress up, come in fancy dress or come as they are, it’s all about having a jolly good knees-up."

The mums have worked with community organisations and businesses to fill the field with activities and stalls, including a Punch and Judy show, face-painting, a bouncy castle, teacup rides, family sports day races and treasure hunts.
