Locals to attend Stormont Jubilee Party
ONE hundred people from the borough are to have the chance to attend a huge Diamond Jubilee party when the Queen visits Belfast later this month.
The event will be held in the grounds of Parliament Buildings, Stormont, on June 27, the Northern Ireland Office has announced.
Councillors were told by their chief executive, Anne Donaghy, at last Thursday night’s monthly meeting that they had been asked to nominate 100 adults and children to attend the family event which has been described by First Minister Peter Robinson as “an historic and unparalleled opportunity for the people to express their devotion and appreciation to Her Majesty for six decades of service”.
No nominations were put forward on the night by councillors.
