The Queen's Platinum Jubilee 2022

Former Chair Debbie Bird unveiled the Platinum Jubilee plaque.

 

The Jubilee Afternoon Tea

Thank you to Tony and Helen for allowing us to ‘take over’ the Black Swan garden to celebrate the jubilee. Around 40 people came (along with a life-size cut-out of the Queen herself) and enjoyed good company and some delicious food.

Thank you to everyone who brought food and to those who helped put up the bunting to make our village look so celebratory. Sally outshone us with her baked goods and also organised a raffle in aid of the churchyard which raised £103. Lucy was kept busy at the tea urn with many people enjoying themselves so much they came back for a second cup.

Debbie unveiled the jubilee plaque, which is on the village signpost, and the three children who attended were each presented with a jubilee mug. The bunting and invitations (designed by Sarah Gibson) were paid for by the Homersfield Poor Lands Charity – our thanks to the trustees.

All in all, a lovely afternoon, where the rain held off and we relished the chance to socialise.

The Jubilee Oak Tree

East Suffolk Council gifted Homersfield Village an Oak Tree and plaque to commemorate the Platinum Jubilee. Now planted near The Millennium Sculpture on the green as you come into Homersfield and flourishing. Have a look - if you haven't already.
