Beamish Museum hosted a jam-packed party for the Coronation weekend, and crowds of locals flocked to the popular venue.

The 'living museum' in Stanley, County Durham, brought in locals who wanted to celebrate in a nostalgic way.

Party-goers got into the spirit of things by sporting red, white, and blue, and waving their Union Flags.

Plenty of crafts and activities were organised to keep little ones entertained, with many wearing their own home-made crowns for the occasion.

In the patriotic show of support for the Royal Family, it was smiles all round at Beamish.

Even royal-themed snacks were available for party-goers, including some crown shaped jam tarts.

So many happy faces were seen and thankfully the rain didn't hang about too long.

As street parties were held across the nation, the celebration at Beamish rivalled the best of the best.
