Hallmark August 2012. Eastlands and Roundlands Jubilee Celebrations. By Jenny King

On Monday 4» June, the residents of Eastlands and Roundlands gathered on the green to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.

With marquees, flags, bunting and tables decked in red, white and blue, it all looked very festive. Everyone brought food to share and it all looked wonderful, especially the beautiful jubilee cake and cupcakes!

At 12 noon the party kicked off with a visit from Wayne the entertainer, who kept children - (and some of the adults!) entertained for a good hour. There was some wonderful balloon sculptures produced.

Then at 1pm everyone sat down to eat, and luckily the few drops of rain that we had did not last for long. Soon the sun was shining and we were all enjoying the wonderful feast to the accompaniment of music from through the years! There was plenty to keep everyone amused through the afternoon with a jubilee quiz, guess the baby competition and crown making for the children.

We were delighted to receive a visit from the Jane Austin Dancers, who entertained us with their dancing and soon many of us were joining in! The children all loved the elephant and crocodile dance!

The fun carried on into the early evening, the weather got better and better and everyone really enjoyed the fellowship and the chance to get to know their neighbours. Everyone agreed it had been a lovely occasion.
