Queens Coronation Street Party
The weather was kind to us again and we were able to have a
proper Street Party as our children, and many adults, commemorated the
Queens Coronation in 1953.
Many of the youngsters, as well as a few adults, entered the ‘Fancy Hat’
competition which had a red, white and blue theme. The children also enjoyed
some traditional games such as hop-scotch, hula hoops, skipping and ‘pin the
tail on the donkey’. The afternoon ended with a traditional tea which
included, much to the childrens amazement, pink blancmange in the shape of a
rabbit (which many of the adults remembered with much fondness).

Youngsters of all ages took part.... |

Then it was time to use up some energy... |
...luckily the weather was in our favour. |

It wouldn't be one of our church events without something to eat! |
We even had a Centenary Cake. |
