Levelling Up Minister Michael Gove has called for authorities to be "completely flexible" in allowing residents to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.

Nick remembered the beginning of his journalism career when he was covering Jubilee celebrations.

"Street parties were just held like that" he told listeners, sharing his dismay at the changes in how authorities police such events.

"We had the IRA – we didn't have counter-terrorism!

"We didn't have extreme weather planning, but we were trying bunting to the lampposts!"
