The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Celebrations, Hudson's Field, Salisbury, Wiltshire

Salisbury City Council put on a fantastic event on Monday at Hudson's Field for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, and it was FREE!
They really pulled out all of the stops to ensure everyone had a brilliant day. Children's entertainment, a good selection of food stations, a marquee full of local produce, silver bands, local independent bands and musicians, the Red Devils, Birds of Prey, Knights on horseback, mountain biking, Morris dancers, The Mayor and Miss Wiltshire, and to finish the night off The Dan Sowerby BandThe Deloreons, The Interceptors, and The Counterfeit Beatles. The finale of it all was the beacon on top of Old Sarum and the fantastic firework display.
I am sure I have missed some of the things that were going on but wow what a day.
There are a selection of images from the day below, but if you would like to see ALL of the images captured throughout the day go to www.johnrosephotography.com and click on the image on the homepage.

















































Salisbury Schools Mini-Marathon 2012

Hundreds of children from school all over Salisbury came together for the annual Salisbury Schools Mini Marathon. The weather was amazing and the atmosphere even better as children and adults tackled the hilly route in 1900m and 2300m races. Highlights included Simon Plummer, Scottish International Runner from Amesbury, who set of and ran the course with the Under 9 girls, and of course Chris Ewington of Spire Fm who was there to compare the event.
A brilliant day and a very well organised event.
