WOODLEY came together in the brilliant sunshine of Sunday to celebrate the King’s coronation.
Woodford Park was packed with picnickers ready to enjoy an afternoon of entertainment, fun and games, organised by Woodley Town Council.
As well as live music, Circus Scene offered the chance to try some circus activities, there were magic shows and a number of stalls offering refreshments.
The town council also gave away 300 free ice creams.
The event also included the unveiling of a new green wall aimed at helping the climate emergency.
Introducing it, Cllr Janet Satorel, the town mayor, said: “It’s in the early stages of growing, but it’s looking absolutely fantastic.
“It represents King Charles’ long-standing advocacy for environmental issues, as well as the council’s commitment to climate change action.
“There are so many benefits to having plants in urban areas such as improved air quality, and providing food and shelter for insects and birds.”
Of the event, she said she hoped people would “enjoy the occasion as we come together in this great community of Woodley.”
She thanked Woodley Town Council staff, including Anuszka Ransley, for organising the event, and ended her short speech by leading three cheers for the King and Queen on their coronation weekend.
