Share your Jubilee memories!

The Queen celebrated her Golden Jubilee with a massive party in her back garden with pop stars galore and a spectacular firework display.  She celebrated her Silver Jubilee at St Paul’s Cathedral with 2700 specially selected guests.  Across Great Britain people put flags out and celebrated the day.  But how was the Silver Jubilee for you?  Did it go with a bang and a massive street party?  Or did you have a quiet one watching the celebrations on the TV?

Breckland Council’s "Memories Festival" will involve people of all ages by looking at memorabilia and stories from the Queen’s Coronation in 1953 and up to and including her Diamond Jubilee this year.  Creating an archive to pass on to future generations is important and the Council need your help to build an exhibition of memories, stories and pictures from the past 60 years to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.  The exhibition will visit each library in the district for a week at a time, starting on 30th April at Thetford library.

If you are a community group, school or individual who would like to take part in our workshops and events, or if you have any memorabilia that we could borrow or copy please contact Laura Apps Green on 01362 656870.
