The Wye Jubilee Community Group and Wye Bonfire Society have registered our village to light one of the official beacons for Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.
We will be one of the seventy eight locations in Kent linked together by a beacon.
Thousands of beacons will be lit around the world on the 4th June 2012 to commemorate Her Majesty The Queen’s 60 year reign over the UK and as head of the Commonwealth.
Plans for our Jubilee celebrations here in Wye are in the making, including a Duck Race along the Stour at the Tickled Trout on the afternoon of the 4th June.
More news later!
News Update. We originally reported that the number of beacon registrations was forty, the number has increased to seventy eight making Kent the highest amount in the country!
