Report on Coronation celebrations:
At our service following the Coronation we were, as is often the case on ‘big occasions’, without a member of the clergy. Our Churchwarden, Wendy Miers, using material supplied on the internet, produced a service of celebration in which a number of the congregation took part.

After church there was a picnic on the recreation field which had been organised by several residents in conjunction with Dallington Parish Council. Thankfully, and unlike the loyal members of the public who cheered the King and Queen in pouring rain, we were blessed with sunshine.

There were games, cakes and a very clever photo booth tent complete with robes of state, an orb and sceptre and a throne. A lot of thought and imagination which resulted in a happy afternoon of celebration for everyone who joined in the fun.
