Queen's Jubilee Beacon - Greenock

Over 4,200 Beacons were lit across the UK, and worldwide to celebrate The Queen's Diamond Jubilee tonight.

Greenock was no exception as a fair sized crowd assembled at the Lyle Hill to enjoy the occasion.

The weather was very kind and after the sun set, the beacon was lit at 22:15 after a few words were said.

Prince Edward - Greenock Visit to Beacon Arts Centre

We enjoyed a brief visit from His Royal Highness Prince Edward to Greenock this afternoon.

He was  paying a visit to the new Arts Guild which is under construction.

The visit was to unveil its new name - 'The Beacon Arts Centre'.

Relaxed, he came across and spoke to the waiting crowd who were very appreciative of his presence.
