Youngsters from Mexborough Academy have also agreed to clean up the area around the school.
Mexborough First councillor Sean Gibbons, who is helping to organise the event, said: “The Queen’s birthday will be a huge occasion for the whole nation so doing something to make our town’s and villages look nicer is a great idea.
“We should be proud of our hometown and take pride in keeping it tidy.
