Cirencester Sparkles

The Queen's Diamond Jubilee.....Wow! What a great day! The Abbey Grounds in Cirencester came to life with local dance groups, bands, stalls, food and much more. We were chuffed to bits to be asked to film and photograph the event. 

The day started with 500 Cirencester residents of all ages, taking part in a parade while Cirencester Band played "royal flourish" a fanfare specially composed for the Jubilee by band master Ian Hartnell. Cirencester samba drumming group were also in the parade along with local organisations and our own "Diamond Jubilee family". In the Abbey grounds family and friends enjoyed a picnic and the various stalls on show, bands performed on the bandstand, fancy dress, dance and gymnastic displays and a mini pageant celebrating Cirencester's history. As the day turned too night local bands performed a mix of past and present music on stage.

We had our own stall on the day showing our work and what we do, Lorna and Lisa did a fantastic job talking to everybody while we captured the day's events! Lots of people waved their flags when they saw the camera and gave us big smiles but most of all everyone seemed to enjoy the day!
