It is the Platinum Jubilee this weekend, and businesses in Congleton have got all decked out for her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

16 shops entered a window competition run by Congleton Town Council to find the best Jubilee window display.

And now the winners have been revealed.

From cardboard cut-outs to hand painted designs and glittering crowns, Congleton shops and businesses are Platinum Jubilee ready with their royal window displays.

In a statement, Congleton Town Council said: "A number of windows really stood out and there was some stiff competition.

"But after some debate Rogers Barbers on High Street was declared the winner for its fun and creative display.

The winners will take a share of the £70 cash prize pot.

They were also presented with certificates.

The windows were judged for impact, creativity and effort by four independent judges and the scores tallied to find the winners.

Jane Bostock, Owner of Hightown Post Office said: "We're thrilled our window caught the judges eye! We worked so hard on the display, especially my talented niece Evie Bostock, who spent hours creating the design.
