Banbury’s town centre was brought to life by a number of entertainers, which included singers, stilt-walkers, jugglers, and balloon modellers, as the town celebrated the historic Coronation day.
The day’s free entertainment was organised by the Banbury BID and the Banbury Old Town Association, with funding from Cherwell District Council.
Despite the poor weather, many shoppers and visitors to the town centre stopped and enjoyed the music and performances of the talented entertainers that rotated around different town locations.
Barry Whitehouse, chair of the Old Town Association, said: "We felt it was important to let everyone feel part of this historic day even if they were at work and wanted to bring a little bit of fun and enjoyment to brighten their day, and it is fantastic to have the financial support of CDC."
