Lisa and four other friends are going to the royal party
A 17-year-old disabled girl from Oxfordshire has been asked to the Queen's coronation anniversary party at Buckingham Palace.

Lisa Broadbent is autistic and one of five young people from the Summerfield Resource Centre in Abingdon who have been invited.

The Barnardos-run centre is one of several children's charities chosen to bring young people to this year's party at the palace.

The garden party on Monday will follow a special commemorative service at Westminster Abbey.

Guests there include Camilla Parker Bowles and 1,000 members of the public, chosen by ballot.

The Queen was crowned at the abbey 50 years ago.
