With celebrations having took place all across Burnley and Padiham last week to mark Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee, local MP Antony Higginbotham MP looks back on what will be remembered as a historic event for all residents of the borough.
Commenting Antony said:
One thing that came through more than anything was the patriotism that we share. And joining in with so many local celebrations last weekend showed me up close just how proud we are to have a Queen who has dedicated her life to serving our country.
The sheer scale of celebrations - in Burnley, Padiham, Hapton, Cliviger, Worthorne, and the smaller communities like Rosegrove and Lowerhouse was absolutely fantastic - it’s something to remember.
And so, to everybody who had a hand in organising these events, I want to say a huge thank you! Coming together like this to celebrate all that is great about our country showed our communities at their best.
To Her Majesty, I think I speak for everybody when I say, thank you Ma’am.
