Queens Platinum Jubilee (Newport Pagnell) (4th June 2022)
So this is one I have not shared before.
By way of introduction, Newport Pagnall is now a small town that pre-exits the foundation of the much larger and adjoining 'new city' of Milton Keynes (where I live) by at least 900 years (if Wikipedia is to be believed), and is first mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086.
In short they ran what was billed as 1940s themed street party with stalls, food and the like. There were also vehicle and other displays in a car park and on land just off the high street, some which included reenactors and vehicles from World War II (plus one very modern imposter) and the rest classic cars. There was also a band.
The weather was pretty poor when we were there and so we didn't hang around for too long. This turned out to be a VERY bad idea because it meant we missed a Spitfire fly past later in the day we didn't know about.
As I've not shared this before, I'll post more pics than usual for this thread.
You can find the full album here.
ACW as usual.
All the best.
