Thousands of street parties are planned in the UK on Friday to celebrate the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton, and a small village in southern Spain is also organising its own celebrations.

Arboleas in Almería province has less than 5,000 inhabitants, and around half of them are British. The local British residents of the village have been preparing for their own street parties since January, when they applied to the Town Hall for permission to have their roads closed off to traffic.

Europa Press reports that parties will be held in five separate districts of Arboleas, starting from 5.30 pm after everyone has had the chance to watch the big event on television.
