Celebrating the Coronation

The Coronation weekend got off to a splendid start with some beautiful bell ringing by our village campanologists.

The merry band of ringers rang for half-an-hour before the service and if you’re wondering what ‘work’ they were ringing it was Call Changes, including Kings, Queens, Orb, Sceptre and Firing. If you want to know more go to the Bell Ringers page – especially if you’d like to have a go!

This was followed by a feast of military precision, pomp and ceremony as many  watched the Coronation from the comfort of their homes.

The extra days holiday on the Monday ensured that the celebrations could continue with many putting up bunting and holding tea parties, where cake and scones were consumed amongst a display of red, white and blue!

Long Live the King!
