Her Majesty the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee part 1

The Parish celebrated her Majesty the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in style this long weekend.  The flower arrangers were very busy in the days leading up to the weekend and did a splendid display in St Mary & St Giles, which is resplendent in red, white and blue.  Some of the arrangements are in memory of parishioners who have died.

On Sunday morning Fr Ross lead the special celebration service in All Saints, Calverton (at 11.30 am) and repeated the service in St Mary & St Giles, Stony Stratford later that day (6pm).  The Parish Singers sang the psalm and the anthem – Purcell’s ‘Rejoice in the Lord’ during the service, and a small group of the hand bell ringers played ‘The Angelus’ at the end of the service before the voluntary.
