Golden Jubilee celebrations in Oxfordshire will be a huge success, according to organisers, despite fears the anniversary will be an anti-climax.
At the launch of the celebrations yesterday, the Lord Lieutenant of Oxfordshire, Hugo Brunner, refuted claims that the Queen's jubilee would be met with apathy. He said: "From what people tell me, there is a great deal of enthusiasm for celebrating the first 50 years of the Queen's reign in Oxfordshire."
