Our Federation Choir came to sing to our Women's Institute today to help us celebrate the coronation. It was great to join in with Jerusalem for starters and then to listen to The Women's Singstitute singing around the British Isles with such oldies as The Skye Boat Song, They're Changing Guard at Buckingham Palace and Ferry Cross the Mersey. Best of all they sang our county song, The Lincolnshire Poacher.

Afternoon Tea (at lunch time!) was followed by a celebration cake. And a VIP to cut it.
And to put the icing on my personal cake, I won the competition with my replica anointing spoon.
It would appear that the link to my post about the anointing spoon may not be working. You can find it at https://trundlingthroughlife.blogspot.com/2023/05/coronation-1953.html
