In Brief:
In more detail:
Friday 5th May
Sir Jamie Benton Jones lit the Beacon behind the Griffin Inn to start a weekend of celebration.
Sunday 7th May
11.50am – 12.30pm. Ring for the King. Parishioners were offered the opportunity to chime a Church Bell in celebration of the Coronation. A unique opportunity was provided for all to come along to Irnham Church and do something different to celebrate our new King. Chiming a church bell is the simplest way to make a bell sound and we offered the chance to anyone to come along and chime a bell to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III. No previous experience was needed as help and guidance was available on the day. All were welcome especially children, accompanied by a parent or guardian. Ian Dawson, Tower Captain.
12.30pm – The Big Lunch party.
Monday 8th May
10.30am – 12.30pm The Big Help Out in Bulby. His Majesty King Charles III was keen for people to volunteer to help out in their local community. As Irnham is on the SKDC Big Clean rota we agreed to do some tidying up in Bulby.
The Parish Council decorated the lamp posts for the weekend and many people put out their own bunting.
