DIAMOND JUBILEE

DIAMOND JUBILEE IN COUNTRYSIDE Kingswood

There were many celebrations on England's streets. Every city, every village had its own street party or parade to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Queen's Elisabeth II reign.

We are in Kingswood, a charming little village south of London. The main village street, which was closed for traffic, filled with many local residents of all ages. Dressed for the occasion they merrily chatted with their neigbours and joined in the common spirit of jubiliation, to celebrate this important day.
All because of the Diamond Jubilee!

My School's director participated in the festival and took some photos to show our students how English people celebrate this special day. 





Everything started with a small parade. Look at the local musicians, aren't they great?

Do you recognise these instruments? :)











As you see - there was no problem to get something to eat or drink.









At the picture on the left you can see KADDS (Kingswood Amateur Dance and Drama Society). They were singing funny songs from the most famous musicals and at the end they sang 'God save the Queen'.

Do you want to read some of their songs? :)

 Small stalls with food, clothes, cup cakes (home baked cakes) or British gadgets, people sitting at tables set up in the Waterside Lane and chatting - all because of the Diamod Jubilee!

 Inhabitants baked some really impressive cakes with British accents on them. They organised a competition for the most beautiful gateau  - look which cake won the first and second prize!


And here is the program of the whole event:

 Most of the people were all dressed up in Union Jack! (that is British flag) ;) Well, maybe not exactly in the flag but in clothes that looked just like it. For example, this little baby's hat and shoes :)





And here is a lady wearing a great hat and a special purse.                                           Is it King Arthur?

                                      Even dogs were dressed up!

And there she is! My School's director, Mrs. Hanna - say hello to her!

The Diamond Jubilee in Kingswood was quite an event.
Nothing is better than seeing happy faces all around you - wouldn't you enjoy it? :)
