Here’s a selection of photographs showing some right royal fun as children have taken part in street parties, musical performances, art workshops and a whole host of fun games and activities as school playing fields have been transformed into temporary play parks and fair grounds.
Many pupils chose to dress for the occasion in a striking array of Union Jack themed costumes.
