A Right Royal Bermondsey Celebration

After our indoor service of thanksgiving, it was time for the Community Fun Day in the Churchyard.

First the rain eased, then it stopped, and then the sun came out.

There was a barbeque; free copies of the 'Servant Queen'; face painting; crown making; a chance to design a new joy slide; coconut shies; hook a duck; DJ Danny and some wonderful community Karaoke; the chance to visit the Fire Engine and meet the fire fighters of the London Fire Brigade; an ice cream van, kept busy all afternoon; and, thanks to our friends at Grosvenor (owners of the biscuit factory), a full size Helter Skelter which arrived on a lorry at seven o'clock in ther morning - and, everything (except the ice cream) was free.

Queuing for the coconut shies
 It was a right royal Bermondsey celebration.

Meet the fire fighters
A nice bit of Cockney Karaoke: 'Give me a London girl everytime'

Dancing in the churchyard

Coconut shies were a hit with the kids
Bermondsey's definitely got talent
Face painting

Thinking up ideas for a new joy slide

Hook a duck

Some of our wonderful cooks
Isn't that the church administrator?


1200 copies of the Queen at 90 have been given away over the weekend, 
including to our great team from the London Fire Brigade
