The circular stone flower beds have recently been removed from Broadway. They were a handy place to perch, when the few remaining benches were full.

Re: Queen to visit Accrington in May.

My mum's friend helped with the flowers and it seems it was a massive effort to get everything perfect for Her Maj. Does she know i wonder? The balcony was all in cream. gold and pale green apparently -did they have word of her outfit to match? - Inside i believe it's all been done in lilac and pink, sounds lovely.Can anyone confirm or show any pics -despite two threads on the subject there have been very few photos...

Lizzie'slife.com ?
Wonder what happpened to all the flowers once she'd gone - they must have cost a lot , hope they went to a good cause or a local OAP's home or such.... Perhaps all the HBC councillors etc. have rather nice table decorations at home this weekend.
