Dozens of Somerset streets will be closed in early-June to make the Queen's platinum jubilee.

The county's residents will come together between June 2 and 5, across two bank holidays, to mark Queen Elizabeth II's 70 years on the British throne.

Events are being planned across Somerset to mark the occasions, including parades through town centres and dozens of street parties in residential areas.

Somerset County Council has published a list of all the approved road closures, making it easier for motorists to get around over the long weekend – and showing what parties are being staged in your area.
