Edenfield Platinum Jubilee Celebration

Edenfield Parish Church entered into the spirit of celebrating her Majesty the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, after  70 years of unwavering service to her country!                                                                                                        ‘I declare before you all that my whole life whether it be long or short shall be devoted to your service… But I shall not have strength to carry out this resolution alone unless you join in it with me, as I now invite you to do: I know that your support will be unfailingly given. God help me to make good my vow, and God bless all of you who are willing to share in it.  Princess Elizabeth, 21 April 1947

Every child at Edenfield School decorated a crown for the bunting that festooned the front of the church grounds and Edenfield Church sign, that the Mayor Ann Cheetham and Mayoress Dorothy Jones were very proud to stand next to.
Edenfield Residents Association put on the Bar-B-Que with Mr Cook the butchers famous burgers and sausages and the cake table was laden with the very generous home made contributions for the café.
There was craftwork inside for the children making crowns and a Treasure Hunt outside and ‘Play your Cards Right’ and other family games, which were greatly enjoyed by all.
The sun shone, the wind stayed down and the Jubilee celebrations were so well attended there was just a bit of cake left for the service on Sunday morning.
