A RIGHT royal celebration of the Queen’s 90th birthday took place in Finchampstead on Thursday, April 21.
Hundreds of people gathered at St James’ Church in the village to witness a birthday beacon being lit on the church tower.
And, to make the event extra special, guests were able to toast the reigning Monarch with birthday cake and bubbly.
The Queen’s Oak pub, which is next to St James, organised a barbecue to feed hungry guests and a shuttle bus was organised by Finchampstead Community Trips Group to help people get to the church on time.
The celebration was a huge success and was organised by the church and Finchampstead Parish Council.
Anna Kent, from the council, said: “Last night’s beacon lighting at St James’ Church, to celebrate the Queen’s 90th birthday, attracted over 300 people.
“Finchampstead Community Trips Group sponsored a shuttle bus to take local residents to and from St James’.
“People were treated to a glass of bubbly and a piece of cake and entertained by local Morris Dancers, Berkshire Bedlam.”
