THE second day of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in Thurrock brought more great scenes as communities came together to have a good time and show their national pride.

Friday, 3 June was a great successor to the previous evening's beacon lighting which saw events from Purfleet in the west to Fobbing in the east and beacons lit points in between including Bulphan, Tilbury and Coalhouse Fort.

Nub News was out and about during the day capturing the spirit of the celebrations, visiting community street parties in Little Thurrock and Stifford Clays and a church event in Stanford-le-Hope.

There were many events across the borough and we are pleased to share some of the pictures with you.

The High Street in Horndon on the Hill was closed for a sit down celebration by residents from the village.

Residents of The residents of Freeman Court Sheltered Housing Complex in Corringham put on a display.

There were many visitors during the day to this display in Maunder Close, Chafford Hundred.
