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:

Attachment 17770

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.
The only decent thing the BBC put on was Snooker on the red button all day
