- Millbrook’s King’s Coronation’Big Lunch’ Community Event:
- Rear Admiral Mike Wood CBE JP: “I would be grateful if you could pass this message to those members of the Parish Council were involved and to all the others in the community who contributed to Sunday’s event.
It was an outstanding success and everyone involved deserves to be congratulated.
I spoke to numerous people of all ages who were there and without exception they were clearly enjoying themselves and were full of praise for the planning, preparation and delivery of such a comprehensive and inclusive programme of activities.
Many of them have lived in Millbrook longer than our 22 years and commented that this was the largest, best organised and most enjoyable event they had ever attended in the village. They clearly hoped that there would be more to follow in due course.
For me, it was a privilege to have a small part to play so thank you for inviting me. I remain full of admiration for all that was achieved by such a willing and enthusiastic team.”
- Member of Public Hand delivered card thanking everyone involved for such a fantastic community event.
- Friends of Millbrook Methodist: “Please pass on our thanks to the Parish Council for putting on the Millbrook Coronation Big Lunch and especially thanks to the two of you for all your hard work planning and organising it and making sure things ran well on the day.It was a brilliant occasion which was enjoyed by so many people, we are part of a great community.
Thank you for letting us have the Millbrook Methodist cake stall, we raised £158 which will be divided between local charities which help people in our community, all the money raised will stay on the Peninsula.
Thank you again and I hope you can enjoy a well deserved rest” - Member of public: We wish to congratulate the Parish Council and the many other organisations and volunteers involved for the exceptional event that took place in Millbrook on the occasion of King Charles lll’s Coronation. Many hundreds of people took part in and enjoyed celebrations that were extremely well organised and very much appreciated by all attendees we spoke to and saw. We belong to the generation that have clear memories of the 1953 Coronation of Queen Elizabeth ll and our generation perhaps constituted 10-15% of the attendees. The legacy of your event is that it has provided for the so many people younger than us their own memory of a community coming together to enjoy a historic constitutional occasion.
