Last night the Mayor of Bromley, Councillor Hannah Gray, lit a beacon to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
Bromley was part of over 2,000 beacon lighting events where the torches were simultaneously lit for Her Majesty.
The sold-out event at Crystal Palace Park saw 7,000 attendees, along with performances from a bugler, bagpiper and choir.
Many visitors enjoyed a picnic in the park before the beacon was lit at around 9.30pm.
