This weekend is the 'Rose Queen' weekend at church. Today was the procession and crowning and tomorrow is an open air service in honour of the queen. This was the first time we've been involved with the weekend as last year we were on holiday. The smaller children are encouraged to go in fancy dress, disappointingly only 6 did and that included Charlie and Courtney! never mind they seemed to enjoy it and that was the main thing. The location was changed for the event as St. Peter's was soggy! St James's (the sister church and the one we attend) has a hall and car park so was the better option with a day like today! The 'royalty' lined up first then we joined the procession with the Sunday School. There was a band from Liverpool leading us, they were really good and I enjoyed listening to them on the way around. Once we were back at church it was the crowning ceremony, it was very regal! The retiring queen gave a lovely speech and during her reigning year she'd raised £10,000 for charity! After the crowning the children who had dressed up went up to the front of church and were presented with some sweeties. At the end there was a fete but it was very busy so we didn't stay for that, opting for a cup of tea at home instead! LOL!
