PERA chairman hails Coronation Street Party as ‘an amazing event’
PERA’s chairman Simon Lillystone has paid tribute to all the residents and organisers who helped make last Sunday’s Coronation Street Party such a wonderful event.
Now, how about we celebrate a thousand years of Piccotts End!
Last weekend’s street party was such a success that many residents are saying ‘let’s have another one next year!’ It’s a lovely idea and judging by the popularity of the Coronation event, with nearly 100 villagers, families and friends in attendance, would be well supported. The trouble is, we’ve had a Jubilee and a Coronation in the space of a year, what’s left to celebrate?
Happy and glorious street party!
Everyone agreed. It was a right royal success. Nearly 100 villagers donned their red, white and blue best to make the Coronation Street Party a wonderful occasion. Even the sun came along!
Rain or shine, street party will be a sweet party!
Sunday’s Coronation Street Party promises the sweet smell of success with nearly 100 residents, family and friends coming. With rain now forecast, wet weather gear will be the order of the day but the organising committee are determined not to let it spoil the event.

Holly was running to raise money for the Anthony Nolan Trust.
