The council waived street closure fees in order to encourage as many as possible. We went out and about to capture just some of them.
The Mayor of Wandsworth visited as many local street parties as he could. Here he meets 100-year-old Aftab Ahmad in Balmuir Gardens, Putney. Mr Ahmad served in the British Army for 25 years and then worked for British Rail for 27 years. After his retirement he volunteered with the Muslim Association. He's seen here with his birthday letter of congratulations from the King and Queen.
