Celebrating the Queen's 90th birthday

On Saturday I was pleased to join local residents in marking the Queen's 90th Birthday at St Catherine's Church in East Tilbury. 

It was a fantastic community occasion and an opportunity to celebrate the reign of our longest-serving monarch. Thanks to all who made the event such a great success.

Then on Sunday I joined the celebrations at Westlake Park in Bowers Gifford where although it was raining a hardy few turned out!

Credit to Bowers Gifford Parish Council and the volunteers who organised a superb day for everyone.
