The UK’s biggest celebration of community saw millions of people making new connections, lending a hand and having fun – gathering under gazebos for street parties, grabbing raincoats for their litter picks and making the most of sunnier spells as they joined in to make a positive difference where they live.

Here’s what went on over the Big Do weekend.
