Buriton Coronation picture to feature in county-wide celebrations

Image

As part of the county's activities to mark the 60th anniversary of the Queen's Coronation there will be a special service of celebration in Winchester Cathedral.

An illustrated order of service is being produced for the grand occasion in the Cathedral - and organisers are hoping to feature a photograph of Buriton schoolchildren clutching their Coronation Mugs on the back cover.

The photograph is just one of almost 3,000 old images collected together as part of the Buriton Heritage Bank - an initiative which is highly regarded by County chiefs.

Representatives of the Buriton Heritage Bank, coordinated by the Buriton Village Association, feel that it is quite an honour for the community to be chosen in this way. 

?We will make sure that we display the photograph at our big Annual Exhibition on Saturday 28th September,? they added, ?and maybe residents will be able to help us identify the names of all the children on the photo??
