Residents of Whitley enjoyed their own outdoor cinema as a wall of St Agnes Church in Northumberland Avenue was turned into a big screen to show the Olympic opening ceremony.

 

The church gave out doughnuts and refreshments, while the John Madejski Academy provided decoration in the form of flags of the nations, adding to the bunting left up after Whitley’s Jubilee street party.
“We had a great time and a good crowd as darkness fell and the atmosphere was special,” said the Revd Vernon Orr, from the church.
