Blithfield Parish Platinum Jubilee Celebrations
On the evening of Thursday 2 June 2022, around 160 members of the Parish, their friends and family gathered together, to celebrate the Queen’s 70 year reign. A fantastic achievement for the Queen who has served this country tirelessly over so many years and something to really celebrate! And we did …..
We celebrated in style at Admaston village hall, which was extended with a marquee in front. The village hall had been decorated with bunting and some tables had been imaginatively decorated for the evening by their occupants. We all felt in the spirit.
We enjoyed a delicious hogroast, during which we all chatted happily, in some cases meeting other members of the Parish for the first time, followed by Platinum Jubilee decorated cupcakes. Following the food, we were entertained, brilliantly, as ever by Lola Lamour. Many people singing along to the well known tunes, in particular, Why, why, why Deliah, proved to be a favourite.
The evening came to an end all too soon, the beacon needed to be lit at 9.45pm along with thousands of them nationally. We made our way up the path behind the village hall, to witness, Paul Riley (pictured) lighting the beacon. We could see one or two others in the distance, along with some wonderful fireworks from the Stowe direction.
