The Platinum Jubilee Youth Spectacular was held in Fife in June.

The two-day event on June 18 and 19 celebrated Her Majesty The Queen’s 70 years of service to the people of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.

It took place in the former mining village of Kelty, on a newly-constructed arena on the site of a former open cast mine.

The event was also a celebration of young people, giving them an opportunity to once again showcase their talents to the general public.
