Brede Parish Community Celebration Picnic: in the Park at the Recreation Ground to celebrate the Royal Wedding was a lovely sunny afternoon and over 200 people from the Parish, they enjoyed the marvelous sound of Ricky Adelaide Lost Direction, the four members of the group opened the proceedings at 3pm followed by the Rye Dance School pupils who put on a tremendously good show. Ray Sparkes had the children in fits of laughter with his balloon shapes and there were even more giggles when his Punch and Judy show began. His wife Jackie was busy face painting and doing wash of tattoos throughout the afternoon. Glasses were raised to toast Prince Harry and Meghan the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The wonderful afternoon was rounded up by the band for a further hour. If you missed it for any reason it is a shame, as you missed a really good community event.
