PATRIOTIC residents and traders in Castle Street have completed a red, white and blue flower-planting and flag-hanging to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and the Olympics.

Castle Street Society chairman David Hannent and treasurer Adeline Reidy organised a cash collection for baskets and decorations on the green plot at the bottom of the street.

The funds were boosted with £500 from Dover Town Council, and mayor Ronnie Philpott turned out on Monday to help bed in the final plants.

Mr Hannent said: "We have been putting flags up and tending the baskets for many years and we want this year to be our best ever."
