Businesses and shopkeepers in Wymondham are being encouraged to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee by decorating the outside of their premises with flags and bunting.

The Market Place and Market Street areas of the town will be closed to traffic throughout the day on Saturday June 2 and a 'Walking and Wheeling Parade' from Back Lane to the Market Cross will one of the showpiece elements.

A spokesman for the organising group said: 'We'd like to have the whole route lined with flags and bunting and we hope that each business will do their bit to make sure that this happens.'

Limited funding is available for town decoration but any offers of support from local businesses will be gratefully received.
