Vintage Newport Pagnell

My wife and I were invited by the Mayor of Newport Pagnell, Cllr Derek Eastman, to attend their 1940's vintage weekend. And it was fabulous. Particularly impressive was the way in which all the shops, churches and other organisations had thrown themselves into the spirit of the day.

We enjoyed seeing some old cars, especially this one with a lady who used to drive such a vehicle during the war.

And later on we were taken to exhibitions of nursing memorabilia from the war, singing by the U3A choir and very pleasant lunch at the Brooklands Centre. This is a pic of Derek the Mayor getting everyone to sing happy 50th birthday to Milton Keynes (after several other wartime songs such as 'We'll meet again')

Well done to Newport Pagnell Town Council!
