Coronation update

EVERYfew years in Probus an event is organised that resonates with a significant group of those of us that love to call Probus home. The Coronation of King Charles III was one such event, and boy did we have a party! Firstly, thanks must go to Tammie Rowe along with Phil and Graham Bishop Macrides for being the driving forces behind this - they were the brave three that said ‘Let’s make this happen’, but in addition, as always, there was a large number of others who stepped up and helped in a wide variety of ways. Thanks to all volunteers and also to Probus Parish Council who were particularly supportive.

Here are some images for us to remember a glorious weekend.

Above: While most watched the event at home, the village hall was opened to allow those that wished to watch the coronation live in the company of others. They did this while working their way through a mountain of jam, clotted cream and homemade scones.

Clockwise from above: The party wasn’t just in Fore Street either. Here is the spread laid out at the bank. Ava and Annie (the youngest residents) present Silvia Bishop (the oldest) with a posy of flowers. That’s a lovely touch girls. The view from the pub (Georgie Dyer) and Phil Bishop Macrides who spent hours (and hours) cooking and serving hot dogs (Jon Hibberd).

While the grey clouds threatened several times during the afternoon, the rain held off. This allowed several hundreds from the village along with friends and other visitors to enjoy the party that wound along Fore Street as well as the pub garden.

Graham Kemp’s Drums4Fun percussion event was set up in the pub garden to entertain the youngsters (and some oldies too!) as was a ‘Bucking Bronco’ ride that also proved very popular with the youngsters.

On the Monday after the Coronation, Cornwall Councillor Karen Glasson along with husband, Parish Councillor Neil Glasson, and a few hardy villagers braved the torrential rain to walk along the old Roman Road to meet representatives from Grampound where they exchanged gifts.
