A HARE HATCH-based plant nursery held a special Platinum Jubilee tea party on Thursday, and raised hundreds for charity in the process.

Sheeplands served hundreds of scones to hungry visitors, while organising a feast of fun for youngsters.

There was musical entertainment, and plenty of smiling faces throughout the event.

It was timed to include the Red Arrows flypast, on their way back to base after performing for the Queen at Buckingham Palace.

Food was also provided by Cuzza Wallah, which specialises in home-cooked Asian food suitable for supper clubs.

The popular event raised £408.71 for the work of CIRDIC, which helps vulnerable people in the greater Reading area, including cooked meals, help accessing support services, and clean clothing.
