“I’m having one and I want you to go ahead and have one too” -
With these words of wisdom, David Cameron gave streets nationwide his blessing, and encouraged street parties to be held in celebration of the Royal Wedding, and we wee students in Southampton took this to heart.
29/04/2011 – The date of the most epic street party to be held in Southampton, to date.
This is one of the more civilized street parties that were taking part in Southampton. Outside the Guild Hall, screens were erected and tables set up in preparation for the Royal Wedding. I have no idea how this went, as I was not there.
I was here instead, 91 Newcombe Road, Polygon, Southampton. This is how the day started:
This was at around 2p.m., we didn’t think that it was going to be as massive as it actually was. However, we were seriously mistaken, as the afternoon went on, more and more people arrived, hearing the pumping music played by the DJ, and sounds of fun and general merry making. Around two hours later, this is how the street looked. It was amazing.
No-one can say that we students don’t know how to celebrate.
29/04/11 – The date when Newcombe Road set the standard for street parties to come.
Farewell,
