WE CELEBRATE THE DIAMOND JUBILEE OF HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH 11 The Ollerton, Marthall and Little Warford weekend fi ttingly began on Sunday, 3rd of June, with a well-attended service of celebration and thanksgiving conducted by the Rev’d Lynette Sweet at All Saints Church. After the service concluded with a full-throated rendition of the National Anthem the congregation re-raised their umbrellas to walk to the Hall where the ladies of the Womens’ Institute had laid on tea and coffee and a tempting buffet, notably a long trestle table laden selection of cupcakes decorated in red, white and blue, many sporting miniature Union fl ags. Cllr Alan Street, Sir Bobby & Lady Charlton Dedicate the fl ag
Following an introduction by Councillor George Littler, the Chairman of Ollerton with Marthall Parish Council, Alan Street, welcomed Sir Bobby and Lady Charlton, and Councillor Roger Buckley, Chairman of Little Warford Parish Council. “ It is a pleasure and privilege to invite Sir Bobby to commission the new Hall at Marthall fl ag pole to commemorate our Queen’s Diamond Jubilee “ but before he did so he wished to thank the group from every branch of our parish life who have, under the chairmanship of George Littler, organised - in coordination with Lynette Sweet - the programme of celebratory events this weekend. Today has been one of serious contemplation and dedication; tomorrow will, as Her Majesty asked, be one of family fun and good fellowship. To applause, thanks were extended to Lynette for the fi tting content of the service, and of course to the familiar group of volunteers “who have once again fed and watered us this morning.” The fl ag pole is presented to the community by the Ollerton with Marthall Parish Council ( which means as the Chairman pointed out “you have treated yourselves to it”.) but also with generous help from Kevin Warburton and associates from Oakwood Nurseries. “Thank you, Kevin”. The fl ags, one the Union fl ag which will be hoisted in a moment: the second an armorial of the Hall at Marthall, displayed at the side of the room; have been presented by Little Warford Parish Council, so “thank your residents for that, Roger”, “Sir Bobby, will you please do us the honour of raising the fl ag of the Union as a declaration of thanks and respect from the villages of Ollerton, Marthall, and Little Warford for 60 years of dedicated service by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second”. And “thank you very much for making time to do so, especially as we saw on the box you were still at Wembley at about 10pm last night,” After thanking us for giving him the opportunity to do so, and emphasising the on-going pleasure of living in the parish, Sir Bobby duly braved the rain to hoist the fl ag to the relayed sound of the National Anthem.
