Jimmy said: "Nothing in relation to the Jubilee. Just what you would normally do on any bank holiday weekend. Just hope it's a nice day and maybe go out and do something with the kids and grandkids."

‘I’ll probably just sit in the garden’

Edith said: "I didn't even know when it was. I'll probably just sit in the garden if it's nice, something like that. Have a pint."
