CROWDS gathered at Billinge Hill and Taylor Park as beacons were lit to mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
Short services took place before the beacons were lit at two of the borough's highest points.
There was an upbeat atmosphere at Taylor Park as music was performed by Valley Brass and piper Ken Beamer.
Mayor of St Helens, Councillor Sue Murphy addressed the crowds before the beacon was lit.
Star readers shared images of the events.
Around the country thousands of beacons have been lit up to mark the jubilee.
The monarch herself started the process by illuminating the Commonwealth of Nations Globe at Windsor Castle, which sent a river of light to Buckingham Palace, where the Duke of Cambridge watched as the Tree of Trees sculpture was bathed in light.
