Communities have been enjoying a host of Platinum Jubilee celebrations across Perth and Kinross this weekend.

And the fun began with street parties in the Fair City on Friday.

The AK Bell Library organised a fancy dress competition, along with games, crafts and music to get everyone in the festive spirit.

And there were colourful celebrations at Glencairn House care home in Auchterarder, where a version of The Queen made an appearance.

A classic car display in Perth city centre wowed enthusiasts and families with more than 60 vintage vehicles on show.

Meanwhile, in Dunkeld, a parade kicked off a day of Jubilee and history celebrations with re-enactments in Stanley Park.

First ever Perthshire Mela

And the weekend was topped off in noisy and colourful fashion with the first ever Perthshire Mela on Sunday.

Musicians and dancers from around the world congregated for a parade from Tay Street to the North Inch.

And the combination of a pipe band, steel drums and bhangra delighted spectators.

A party at the North Inch, including a funfair and inflatables, went on all afternoon.

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