Royal engagement at The Hamptons Residents at a local care centre enjoyed a royal visit in celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. Leading local care centre, The Hamptons, located off Heyhouses Lane in Lytham St Annes, was visited by mini Queen, Isla Bates, age three, who planted a tree as part of HRH The Queen’s Green Canopy initiative; a campaign to enhance the environment and provide a lasting legacy in honour of Elizabeth II’s jubilee year with the ultimate aim of benefitting future generations. The royal engagement commenced with a red carpet arrival for the mini-Queen who was accompanied by her guard of honour, Major Briscoe MBE from the Duke of Lancashire Regiment and her grandfather Andrew Fairhurst, a veteran of the Queen’s Lancashire Regiment. Making it a true family occasion, Isla’s nanna Cath Fairhurst and mum Alexandra Fairhurst, were also in attendance, along with Dominic Kay and Dawn Collett, all of whom work for New Care. Residents and their families cheered when the tree was planted and then enjoyed a summer barbecue to officially kick start the Platinum Jubilee celebrations at the home. Home manager at The Hamptons, Sara Allton, commented: “Our royal visit was the perfect way to commence a weekend of Jubilee celebrations and our residents were truly delighted with Isla who was amazing in her role as mini Queen. It was a fabulous afternoon with smiles and laughter and the sharing of many memories over The Queen’s 70 year reign.” Part of New Care, The Hamptons is a beautiful care home offering exceptional levels of residential, nursing and dementia care in a safe and comfortable environment. For further information, or to make an appointment to view The Hamptons contact the team on 01253 720052 or email enquiries@newcarehomes.com

Wyre’s beaches named among the best in the country Beaches in Fleetwood, Cleveleys and Rossall have all received Seaside Awards today, recognising them as some of the best in the country. Environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy has announced the winners of the prestigious Seaside Awards for summer 2022 and Jubilee beach in Cleveleys, Marine and Ferry beaches in Fleetwood and Rossall beach have all received an award. Councillor Roger Berry, Portfolio Holder for Neighbourhood Services and Community Safety at Wyre Council comments, “It’s great news to hear that our beaches have received Seaside Awards once again. We really do have some of the most beautiful beaches and these awards mean that people visiting them can be assured they meet the highest standards. Thank you to all the staff at Wyre Council and our volunteers, local beach care groups and partners who work so hard to keep our beaches clean and safe. From litter picking to informative signage to protecting wildlife, it takes a lot of work all year round to reach the standards needed to fly the Seaside Award flag.” Keep Britain Tidy’s Chief Executive, Allison OgdenNewton OBE said, “The success of these beaches in reaching the very high standards demanded is testament to all those who have worked so hard to

protect and improve our blue spaces – from beach managers and volunteers to local residents and businesses. The huge commitment needed to maintain marvellous beaches worthy of these awards cannot be underestimated. “People who visit a beach flying a Seaside Award can be assured the beach will be clean, safe and meet the highest environmental standards, as well as international bathing water quality standards.” The Seaside Awards are aimed at improving the quality of England’s coastline and promoting the country’s best beaches. They are presented to the best beaches in England and celebrate the quality and diversity of our coastline. Among the criteria beaches are assessed against are: · Safety and services, such as first aid, lifeguards where necessary · Environmental information including displaying details about local eco systems · Water quality · Environmental management, including litter and waste Read more about Wyre’s beaches, find out what’s on and see how you can help look after them at www.wyre.gov.uk/coast

THE QUEEN

in her own words Quiet, impeccably mannered, but always addressing with poise and precision, what Queen Elizabeth II says is always worth hearing.

“I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong.”

THE QUEEN AND DIANA The idea that the Queen was in some way unapproving of Diana is one that has permeated the popular press and, it might be said, has left an indelible stain on the reputation of both. Yet many biographers have noted that the relationship between the two was excellent, even after the break-up of Diana’s marriage to Prince Charles. “No one who knew Diana will ever forget her. Millions of others who never met her, but felt they knew her, will remember her. “She was an exceptional and gifted human being. In good times and bad, she never lost her capacity to smile and laugh, nor to inspire others with her warmth and kindness. I admired and respected her - for her energy and commitment to others, and especially for her devotion to her two boys.” SERVING HER COUNTRY Upon the Queen’s coronation, she declared herself fully at the service of the nation she was serving, as have all Monarchs coming to the throne. While the words are regularly spoken, the intensity with which they were said perhaps should have given some indication that Elizabeth truly was giving herself over to the nation, a fact that has been borne out in the 70 years that have followed. 34

STRUGGLES Taking strength from all around her, the Queen has never professed to have all the answers. “I know of no single formula for success. But over the years I have observed that some attributes of leadership are universal and are often about finding ways of encouraging people to combine their efforts, their talents, their insights, their enthusiasm and their inspiration to work together.” FAMILY Bringing the royals back to a status where people can empathise and share in the joys and pain of the family unit, is something Elizabeth has excelled in. “Like all best families, we have our share of eccentricities, of impetuous and wayward youngsters and of family disagreements.” CONTRITION Finally, the Queen has not only had to reference and apologise for events that occurred long before she was born. “To all those who have suffered as a consequence of our troubled past I extend my sincere thoughts and deep sympathy. With the benefit of historical hindsight we can all see things which we would wish had been done differently or not at all.”
