In fact it may not be necessary to go as far as that. Have a look at the events that are being arranged for us in Havering... there are quite a few. Family fun runs, balloon releases, festivals... and more: these are just some of the ways you can celebrate the Diamond Jubilee in Havering.
Diamond Jubilee Balloon Competition, 27 May - 1 June
On May 27, children from the borough will take part in a special balloon release to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee, with each balloon having a uniquely coded label. Residents who find a label from any of these biodegradable balloons will be asked to contact the Council. The deadline to do this will be 12noon on Friday, 1 June. They will be asked to give the code on the label, and then they will be entered into a prize draw to win an 8Gb Apple iPod Touch. The child whose balloon code is picked as the winner will also receive an 8Gb Apple iPod Touch.
