Love the pic of your Daughter Neil, she looks like she really enjoyed her blue face too
Super pix, Watty, of Deal's celebratory flags, I didn't see a lot of flags around Dover and only a couple of residents around my neighbourhood made an effort with flag flying.
Kath, thanks for posting video, it was great to see it and what fun it all looked too, with everyone enjoying their Jubilee lunch

Thanks, Colette, it seems to me that sometimes people in the villages enjoy their get=togethers more than in towns ! It was a lovely village event.

Alright, so we made a mistake.
We should have adorned Townwall St. with flowers and draped a flag from Burlington House.

# 111.Have to agree,Shepherdswell still has a feeling of the 1950`s,we even have a steam train.
# 115 .Not in our day Howard.When Wendy was Chairman I was her consort for two years
