27 unseen photos of the Queen's Silver Jubilee celebrations in Portsmouth in 1977

There were wonderful scenes as Her Majesty and Prince Philip visited our area back in 1977, as you can see from these previously unseen negatives from The News archive.

Her Majesty visited several areas of Portsmouth meeting thousands of people at Southsea Common, Southsea Castle, Commercial Road, Old Portsmouth and Guildhall Square where a marching band also played.
