VOLUNTEER gardeners slipped on their gardening gloves as they continue to make progress ahead of this year’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

The Windsor and Eton Society were replanting key areas in Heritage Garden, on Church Street, on March 19, as part of the group's Platinum Jubilee Facelift 2022 project.

And RBWM Lead Member for Windsor, Cllr Samantha Rayner, popped along to see the work they were doing.

The project, the ninth since the original "Facelift" was inaugurated by Her Majesty in 1961, aims to make sure both Windsor and Eton are looking in top form for Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee celebrations at the beginning of June.

The Society wants to encourage businesses and residents in the two towns to put on a colourful and patriotic display to mark the occasion.

Slough Observer:

The group is encouraging property owners to tidy commercial and residential buildings, as well as helping restore

public realm spaces which will feature purple and white flowers, with the towns decorating central streets with flags and bunting.

And the group has seen the Heritage Garden, River Street garden area, Windsor Parish Church and Bachelors' Acre currently leading the way.
