Readers in need of some post Jubilee light exercise, may wish, rather than read or ignore this item, to quietly sing it to the carol melody ‘God rest ye merry, gentlemen….’

I was so pleased to be the photographer recreating this amazing memory. Cynthia Bailey and Jean Abott who 70 years ago were celebrating the Queen's coronation as neighbours.

Such a beast is the Hipporhinostricow
How it got so mixed up we'll never know how
It sleeps all day and whistles all night
And it wears yellow socks which are far too tight.

Norman is the same age as her majesty, the Queen, turning 97 in September.

It was fantastic to see everyone on Smeeton Road Rec to celebrate HM the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. A great number of Kibworth charities, businesses and groups came together to organise, fund, sponsor, donate prizes and make the event so great! There’s too many involved to name here but be sure to visit the Scouts Facebook page where you can see everyone listed. (1st Kibworth Scout Group) Thank you to everyone involved once again.
