On behalf of all of those who have joined in the Wing Platinum Jubilee celebrations, I would like to say a Huge Thank you to all those who have made the events so enjoyable. Too many to name but these are some of the tasks – organising furniture from many sources; booking the band; beacon; table decorations (the Wednesday craft group); erecting and dismantling marquees; Flower Festival, Wing History; Art and Craft; Saturday teas; clearing up; Fiona for the wonderful cake competition. But there is one person who has spearheaded the whole Celebrations and made it so successful – Sally, we thank you wholeheartedly and do hope you are enjoying your well deserved holiday.

Thanks to those who have spent time taking down the marquees and decorations in Wing after working so hard putting it all together over the last week – a Job Well Done and appreciated by many.

If anyone has more photos they can send them to
