Editor’s Letter

There 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 amonumental year on the throne. Happy Jubilee Your Majesty!

Of course, the community of Newcastle joined in on the nation’s Jubilee celebrations superbly with ahost of organisations coming together to putonajolly good patriotic show. See page 13.

We also have around-up of the return of Staffordshire County Show which certainly proved awelcome return for the area. See pages 14 and 15.

Also in this edition of the Newcastle Life Magazine, we have anumber of features where the community have been banding togethertohelp spruce up their areas; and we also have sporting and creative success stories, along with an introduction to the borough’s newmayor.

Happy reading! Until next time, take care!
