YOUNGSTERS from Sourton have been playing their part in the build-up to the village's Diamond Jubilee celebrations.

Last Saturday, they filled the parish hall to make special Jubilee decorations and crowns in preparation for Sourton's celebrations on June 4.

The decorations will be hung in the hall, which is the centre for many of the planned activities. Cllr John Hockridge and Mrs Hockridge visited to judge the children's craft skills, and selected Catherine Curtis as the parish queen for the celebrations.
