I joined forces with volunteers and councillors to tidy up Worthing town centre ahead of Her Majesty’s 90th birthday.
Spirits were high during the half hour stint to ‘Clean for the Queen’, equipped with marigolds, brooms, litter pickers and even feather dusters.
The nationwide initiative aims to see Britain’s towns gleaming in time for the Queen’s landmark year, officially celebrated in June.
I think we need to urge everybody to do their own bit in their community, whether it’s cleaning up their street, a park, or their local beach.
Let’s have street parties that are spic and span because everyone’s done their bit. What better way to celebrate the Queen’s 90th birthday.
Parties are already being planned for the area, including one on Lancing Beach on Sunday, 12 June from 1pm - 6pm.
The free event will feature live music, a dinosaur ride, and a train from the bandstand to Widewater.
Stalls can be booked for £12 a table and all profits will go towards charity ME Association.
