About 300 people came out on Tuesday to celebrate the Jubilee with friends, relatives and neighbours on the Harvist Estate in Islington.

The 250 giveaway burgers proved really popular! They were chowed down with salads, beverages and loads of homemade goodies.

The street party was put on by North London Cares and our amazing volunteers -- with brilliant partners from across the community, including Arsenal in the Community, The Sobell Centre, Pakeman Primary School, Waitrose, Sanjuro Martial Arts, Rowan Arts Club and Emmanuel Church.

Domino's Pizza also got into the spirit of the day -- letting our vols use their grill to flip excess burgers! As Councillor Andy Hull said, the party represented Islington at its best:

"A football club, a school, a business, a leisure centre, a martial arts group, a, church, a cultural group; working class, middle class, old, young, black, white all enjoying time together and living together -- that's what Islington is all about."

We'll have a full blogpost coming up over the next few days. In the meantime, check out some of these amazing photos from what was a brilliant occasion, with smiley people mixing together on their own doorstep.
