EDITOR S LETTER
T
here surely has been a wonderful mass of red, white and blue colours across the nation recently for HM The Queen s Platinum Jubilee. It s always so wonderful when communities come together for such celebrations and obviously this one was rather unique in HM Queen Elizabeth being the only British monarch to have reached such a monumental year on the throne. Happy Jubilee Your Majesty! Of course, the community of Newcastle joined in on the nation s Jubilee celebrations superbly with a host of organisations coming together to put on a jolly good patriotic show. See page 13. We also have a round-up of the return of Staffordshire
County Show which certainly proved a welcome return for the area. See pages 14 and 15. Also in this edition of the Newcastle Life Magazine, we have a number of features where the community have been banding together to help spruce up their areas; and we also have sporting and creative success stories, along with an introduction to the borough s new mayor. Happy reading! Until next time, take care!
