I'm sure someone will correct me if I've remembered incorrectly.

That was the official total cost I was told. Somehow, the cynic in me is still a non-believer.
There was the Freedom of the Borough ceremony yesterday and I've never found it so easy to drive into Accrington on a Saturday morning so I'm assuming that it didn't lure thousands of people from their homes.
For all those who weren't in the public gallery yesterday:

As far as Friday was concerned, I spent the whole day in Rishton visiting street parties, touring the local alehouses and having a singalong by the piano at The People's Centre. Rishton Towers was decked out with flags and bunting and we had a houseful of friends over for a knees up.
It's not for everyone but the BBC put on an excellent broadcast and I had a thoroughly patriotic time of it.
