The queen's platinum jubilee

We celebrated the Queen's Platinum (70th anniversary) Jubilee at the Cricket Club on Thursday 2nd June 2022, culminating in the coordinated lighting of the beacons at 9.45pm across the whole of the United Kingdom.

Entry money was DONATED to the BUCKS UKRAINIAN REFUGEES FUND with over 1000 people in attendance during the day.

In the lead up to the celebrations, the Three Trees was decorated with red, white and blue pom-poms. St Mary’s held a photo exhibition entitled ‘Our village past and present’ which ran all over the Jubilee weekend.
