The county council has put £200,000 aside to pay for celebrations to mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee this summer.

Derbyshire County Council’s Cabinet agreed to take the sum from the General Reserve to support a number of events that will be held in honour of Her Majesty’s 70th year on the throne.

Addressing Cabinet, Leader Councillor Barry Lewis said the money would go towards supporting events hosted by various organisations and care homes as well as wide celebrations in communities for what he called a ‘truly remarkable reign’.

Details of exactly how the money will be spent will be released in due course.
