Crouch End residents embraced the Jubilee spirit with events across the long weekend.
The Maynard Arms hosted a huge street party on Thursday.
Organiser Eleanor Warren said: “We wanted to give back to the people who have come to the pub and have been a part of it for so long. We wanted a chance to celebrate with them.”

Stilt walkers, musicians and caricaturists entertained more than 500 party-goers.
“It was nice to get everyone together to celebrate. To put a smile on so many people’s faces for a day – it was great,” said Eleanor.
