100 tickets were sold to celebrate the 70th year of the Queen’s reign. Starting at 4.00pm on a fine summer’s day a hog roast was supplied along with live music from Andy Margrett and Alex Knapman. Lori Weber led the celebration’s 

singing of God save the Queen and other patriotic songs. She 


later joined Alex and Andy for some more contemporary music. A barrel of Ledbury bitter was kindly donated with guests bringing their own drinks and glasses. There was a successful raffle and the finale was a huge bonfire lit on Old Vicarage’s field adjacent to the village hall.
