Communities across the kingdom gathered to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in Fife at the weekend.

And people celebrating their 70th birthdays and wedding anniversaries were the guests of honour at a special afternoon tea hosted by Fife Provost Jim Leishman.

The fun began on Thursday night with the lighting of several community beacons at 9.45pm.

Then Mr Leishman welcomed invited guests to the Glen Pavilion in Dunfermline for the celebratory event on Friday afternoon.

Meanwhile, revellers took part in street parties and community picnics as they got into the spirit of the weekend.

On Saturday, crowds gathered for an afternoon of entertainment at a family fun day at Silverburn Park in Leven.

This was followed by a huge family picnic at Pittencrieff Park in Dunfermline on Sunday.

And there was also a right royal Platinum Picnic in Cupar all afternoon.

The town’s celebration began with the tolling of bells at Cupar Old Parish Church and St Johns before the community merged at Haugh Park for a teddy bear’s picnic.

And the programme included a bake-off and an eco-friendly catwalk fashion show.

Our photographers went along to some of the events to capture the fun.
