Nostalgia - West Row children receive special mugs to celebrate Queen's Golden Jubilee

In today's nostalgia we go back 20 years to when youngsters celebrated the Queen's Golden Jubilee.

The children from West Row, near Mildenhall, were the recipients of a special gift, a commemorative mug, from the parish council to mark the Royal milestone.

The presentation was made during the village fete in August 2002 by Gerald Taylor-Balls who was then chairman of Mildenhall Parish Council, who is pictured here left, with the council’s vice-chairman Malcolm Smith.

The events at the fete included a football tournament, a baby show, and a tombola.

All the proceeds from the event went towards the upkeep of West Row’s village hall and the playing fields.

Robin Taylor-Balls, chairman of the village hall association, said: “We had a great turnout at the event and the day was a great success despite the poor weather conditions.”
