Kingsclere's Coronation Celebrations
What a wonderful coronation weekend in Kingsclere. Thank you to everyone who was involved in the celebrations - all the organisers - Kingsclere Community Association and the Parish Council - Park House Stables - The Village Club - St Mary's - Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council - and everyone who came to watch the lamp-lighting and the ceremony - everyone who put up bunting - all the bonkers people who conga'd in the rain - everyone who came to the party - the Mayor and group from Cormicy, France - the community stall holders - the singers - the church congregation - the street parties - the downs walkers and picnickers.
You were all amazing and are why we love this village.
A coronation is an important page in village history. We came together as a community to demonstrate to ourselves, the rest of the world and to future generations that we care about this place and each other. Future families can look back with pride that they live in Kingsclere.
