AN open air party is to be staged in Stourport to mark the Queen's Golden Jubilee.

The town branch of the Royal British Legion - an organisation of which the Queen is president - is putting on the event in the car park outside its Lichfield Street base on Monday, June 3.

"There'll be all sorts of things, like a kids' bouncy castle, and we'll be recruiting for the Legion Youth Band," said chairman Mike Southerton.

"Anybody is welcome and it will be a day for fun."

The branch is also looking for a new poppy appeal organiser.
