I am 16 and a great monarchist and a few months ago my mother and I were hoping to hold a street party, but there was apathy amongst the elderly residents of the street.

So instead we have decided to buy flags etc and decorate the interior and exterior of our house. We are also having a BBQ in our garden with fancy dress.

I'll be doing the only sensible thing on Jubilee weekend, and visiting Ireland - where they have had the sense to scrap the monarchy.

We are having a 'Royal Garden Party' to which we are inviting all the Brits we know in the area.

They all have to come as someone the Queen has honoured in the last 50 years.

We are holding a Jubilee teddy bear's picnic on 31 May, for local Rainbow and Brownie packs.

There will be prizes for the bears such as funniest bear, most loved bear and of course, most patriotic.

We are organising a dual celebration: our Model Youth Awards launch and a street party.

We have approached local businesses for gifts or donations that can be used as prizes for children.
