The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Celebrations
Weekend of 2nd – 4th June 2012 – Not
long now! We’re
hoping you’ll all come and join in with the Village’s efforts to celebrate the
Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. It’s an
amazing thing for our Queen to have been on the throne for 60 years and none of
us will probably see this happen again. So let’s make a fuss about it with a weekend to remember! Put up your flags, get out some bunting
...
