This is an edited video which shows the preparatory work, the picnic, the races for both children and adults, the children being entertained by Captain Fantastic, the results of the fancy dress competitions, and the group photo depicting CR captured by a drone flown by Toby and Ben Chandler. Derek Bushell, Peter Wiles and Sue Wiles were the event hosts and Crocky judged the fancy dress competitions. The weather improved during the day and this memorable and successful event ended in warm sunshine. Funding was provided by the Parish Council and Uttlesford District Council.

To celebrate the coronation of King Charles III which took place on Saturday 6th May 2023, the Parish Council organised a picnic the following day on the village green. The event included a fancy dress competition, games, a children’s entertainer, visiting donkeys and free Saffron ice cream. Every child attending received a souvenir water bottle.
A lovely sunny afternoon saw nearly 150 people come to the green. The event was filmed by John Lockton and his stills along with photographs from others are recorded here. The drone picture depicting CR was taken by Toby and Ben Chandler. In the evening, there was a Ceilidh in the Village Hall with dancing to the Lairds Ceilidh Band. Funding was provided by the Parish Council and Uttlesford District Council.
