Aymestrey and Leinthall Earls jubilee, Debussy at 150 and fete
JUBILEE - After seven months of planning by the parish, celebration day dawned dry but cloudy. By the start of the celebrations the sun was out and the crowds began to arrive, some on a tractor-drawn trailer following the church service at Leinthall Earls. More than 200 people enjoyed a hog roast. Children of the parish were presented with commemorative mugs that had been designed by local artist Jonathan Heale. People were wearing crowns that they had made, judged by Phillip and Domenica Dunne who presented the winners with medals. The crowd was entertained by local folk group Loxley and the shanty singers Hobson’s Choice. At 10.15pm the Gatley beacon was lit as part of the national chain. About 19 beacons could be seen from our vantage point. Sir Thomas and Lady Dunne, former Lord Lieutenant of Herefordshire and his wife, were welcomed to the celebrations. Aymestrey Parish Council thanked Phillip and Domenica Dunne for providing the venue and to everyone who worked so hard for the event. read more
