| Stocksbridge High celebrated with a Royal Buffet. |
STOCKSBRIDGE residents celebrated the Royal Wedding in style with several street parties throughout the village.
Applications for party licences were submitted to the local council to mark the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton on Friday, April 29.
Stocksbridge Council Clerk, Teresa Bisatt said: “We received lots of applications, and granted as many as possible. It was a special day to be British.”
On and around Cedar Road, the community has been holding street parties ever since the Queen’s Jubilee in 2002.
58 year-old Joan Graham who organised the event said: “I wouldn’t say we are all flag-waving royalists. But we are very grateful to them for giving us the extra bank holiday.”
“We’ll raise a glass to Kate and Wills, but it’s mainly about bringing the community together. There’s nothing better than a street party.”
The road was closed was closed off to traffic for a full afternoon of celebration – complete with a bouncy castle and marquee.
Young residents also took part in the royal revelries. Stocksbridge High students lead up to the wedding with a full day of cake decorating, flower arranging and t-shirt making. They rounded up the merriments with a wedding buffet style lunch and disco.
Head Teacher, Jan Featherstone said: “Lots of work went into making the run up to the wedding as special as possible for our pupils. The staff baked 80 individual sponge and fruit cakes from scratch for the children to decorate, and the ladies in the school kitchen came in at 6am to sort out the buffet lunch. The time and effort that was put in made the day a joy for all.”
