At midday on Sunday 7th May the gloomy spring weather relented to give a brilliantly sunny afternoon for the much anticipated events on Castle Green to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III which had taken place on the previous day. A large marquee had been erected in case of rain but most of the many people who attended chose to picnic on the newly mown grass, as shown in the above picture. On such a warm, still day every note of the Brackley and District Brass Band could be well heard and contributed much to the success of the event.
I am sorry that I was unable to photograph the celebration as I would have done over the last twenty years but I have received some stunning pictures, mainly by Jo Powell.
