RESIDENTS in a part of Hartlepool are getting set for a right royal celebration thanks to a financial helping hand.

A street party, sports activities and competition for the best-dressed house are some of the events taking place during a fun day to mark the Queen's jubilee year, in Seaton Lane, on August 26.

The party has been made possible thanks, in part, to a £508 grant from Owton Rossmere Partnership's Community Chest, £300 from the Guinness Trust and £100 from Rossmere and Seaton Grange Residents' Association.
