As part of its ongoing and extensive youth programme and to celebrate the build up to King Charles III’s Coronation Day, the Parish Council hosted a Coronation Suncatcher Workshop for primary aged children within the Parish.
The event was fully booked and all who attended, created some wonderful designs. The morning was full of artistic flare with a range of fun arts and crafts. Designs ranged from patriotic red, white and blue Union Flags to regal colours and even some unique multi-coloured ones. The designs ranged from a tribute to King Charles III himself, along with his Sceptres and Beefeaters, the palace and the royal carriage.
The 1st Greenmeadow Rainbows also joined in with the celebrations and decorated over twenty vibrant Suncatchers, which have been donated to the Parish Council to add to its display. The Parish Council’s Youth and Community Co Ordinator, Kate, had a thoroughly enjoyable time visiting the Rainbows and making Union Flag bunting to continue with celebrating the Coronation theme.
The masterpieces will be displayed in the Parish Council Offices, Thames Avenue, for years to come to commemorate the Coronation of the new King. The display will go alongside the previous tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II’s Golden Jubilee in 2002 designed by primary aged children within the Parish. Those who attended also got to keep a Suncatcher as a souvenir for this very significant occasion.
The Parish Council will also be displaying the official Coronation flag for the month of May at its Offices for passing residents to enjoy.
