Plans had been made many months ahead for a village picnic on Castle Green on Sunday June 4th to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. The morning dawned cool and grey. Rain was forecast on and off for the entire day. This was not unexpected and marquees and gazebos were assembled from wherever they could be found.

In fact so much cover was provided that all of the 150 or so people who attended could have found shelter. In the event the threatened rain failed to materialise and the various events went ahead as planned.

Website Editor’s Note: As I was unavoidably absent, I am indebted to the members of the Sulgrave Camera Club for the following images:
