Bardfield Horticultural Society celebrated the Queen's Platinum Jubilee with an afternoon tea in the Great Bardfield Town Hall.

Mandy Boon, who is on the society's committee, said: "The society wanted to celebrate the Jubilee and thought an afternoon tea with a royal themed quiz was a great idea."

The society president Peter Morris opened the event on June 11 with a welcome speech and toast to the Queen, and then everyone sang the national anthem before enjoying sandwiches, scones and cakes.

Sixty people attended and enjoyed catching up on royal stories, meeting new people and supporting a village society. The group's next event is a coach trip to RHS Hyde Hall on July 9.
