<i><b>On Sunday 14th July, we will gather in front of the driveway at 9.40am, prior to our Rose Queen service, for a blessing and thanksgiving by Revd Anne Freestone. Our retired Rose Queen Alice and King Sidney will cut the ribbon to officially open the driveway, with the support of the new Royals. We will then process into the church for another thanksgiving service to welcome our newly crowned Rose Queen Georgia and King George. We look forward to seeing you.</b></i><i><b>Grateful thanks to all who have donated to our driveway funds so far. We will have to continue with our fundraising though.
