Were you at one of the Isle of Wight's many Queen's Platinum Jubilee events last weekend?

Did you send us photos of your street party of special event? If so, they may be featured in our 16-page special supplement, which is free inside today's County Press (Friday, June 10 edition).

There are scores of pictures of beacon lighting ceremonies, community events and street parties from across the Isle of Wight, including Newport's jubilee event; Niton Jubilee Fayre; the Puckpool jubilee parkrun; Brighstone's Picnic in the Park; Whitwell's jubilee event; Newchurch's celebrations and many more.

There are also pictures from Isle of Wight representatives at the proceedings in London, including the Island's Armed Forces Champion, Councillor Ian Dore, who was invited to the Trooping of the Colour; and from Shademakers UK and Ventnor Comic Jazz Band, who both took part in the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Pageant.

We asked you to send us your photos and you replied in your dozens - and we featured loads of your photos on our live blog, which was running throughout the weekend.

Our reporters were also out and about taking pictures around the Isle of Wight throughout the weekend and we have included a broad spectrum of all the pictures received in our pull-out-and-keep platinum jubilee supplement.

DID YOU KNOW? We have also produced a 116-page limited edition commemorative publication, The Queen's Platinum Jubilee: Hampshire and the Isle of Wight celebrates 70 years.

It features many stories and people's memories from the Queen's visits to the Isle of Wight and is now available from selected Island newsagents, or can be ordered online by clicking here.
