Jubilee Celebration 2022

 Even though it was a bit rainy, we had a splendid Platinum Jubilee on Derby Arboretum. The Matt Ratcliffe Trio Jazz band, the Muha Eastern European Band and the Rosehill School Choir performed. Crown Derby and Winters Photographers were exhibiting too.

We made royal crowns, there was refreshments and everyone had a lovely time.

It was straight into making a giant jubilee crown and royal woven cloak with children from Rosehill Infants, St James Infants, students from Derby College and adult volunteers. We had a very busy 2 weeks. But it was great fun!!
