Village celebrate at patriotic party
The Danehill Village Hall had been festooned with patriotic flags and banners. The tables were laid with red, white and blue, and a feast fit for twenty-first century children laid.
Jolly music was played whilst they ate. A beautiful ceramic memorial mug was raffled and eventually won by three year old Molly Burwood. The meal was concluded with the cutting of an enormous cake baked by Mrs Rosemary Burwood which looked very much like Windsor Castle, complete with Royal Standard and a model of Elizabeth and Phillip waving from the ramparts.

Thanks were made for the help of The PTA Ladies, and for generous donations from the church and The Ashdown Cafe team. There will be further celebrations during The Ashdown Weekend at the end of June.
