ST CATHERINE’S Church in Tilehurst celebrated this weekend with a jubilee jamboree on Friday, June 3.

Reverend Gill Rowell led proceedings as the party got underway on the church grounds.

After the welcome, revellers took part in crown-making, peace rock painting, splat the rat, and hook-a-duck.

Members of the local WI were invited to plant a commemorative silver birch on the church lawn.

Partygoers took part in a group singalong, followed by live music, country dancing, and a jubilee quiz.

Rvd Rowell also helped to judge the knobbly knees contest, which saw three winners take home awards for the knobbliest, smoothest, and best dressed knees.

Ladies were invited to take part in the best hat competition, which was brimming with charming, colourful headwear.

Once the winners had been declared, children who took part in crown making were invited to show off their creations.

Revd Rowell then brought proceedings to a close with a prayer and the national anthem.
