THE Queens birthday last Sunday was celebrated in St James Church with a bring and share lunch. The tables were groaning with delicious home made food that made our mouths water. The guests enjoyed a get together and a warm welcome was extended to everyone. A toast was drunk in champagne to Her Majesty the Queen and the lunch ended with the National Anthem.
