July 2022— “Tribute to the Queen in flowers words and pictures”

See gallery tab for photos.

A big thank you to St Lawrence Church flower ladies, who once again rose to the occasion and produced imaginative, high quality flower arrangements certainly fit for a Queen. The flowers set in 6 tableaux with words and pictures depicting different aspects of the Queen’s working life, produced many compliments from the visitors to the event.

Thank you to everyone who supplied cakes and plants and worked on the roster of the weekend. To the team who worked so hard leading up to the event only we know how hard it was! Fontaine, Jean and Grahame we wouldn’t have coped without you.

At present the proceeds stand at £1.218.90
