Queen Elizabeth II celebrates 60 years as Monarch in 2012 and there are a number of events across the country between the 2nd and the 5th of June to mark this special achievement. In Whyteleafe Village we will play our part in recognising the jubilee with a number of events centred around Sunday the 3rd June.

Best dressed house, street or business

Are you planning a street party, having the neighbours round or just marking the day with a family barbeque? If so, why not get the red, white and blue bunting out and celebrate in style? Whyteleafe Village Council is inviting you to register your house, street or business in our Best Dressed competition and you could have photographs of your house, street or business on the Whyteleafe Village Council website and two winners in each category will receive a framed commemorative certificate.

Born before 1953?

If you remember the Queen's coronation of the 2nd of June 1953, why not share your memories with other villagers at a special celebration lunch. The lunch is available to all Whyteleafe villagers born before 1953 and will be held in the function room of the Whyteleafe Tavern at 1:30pm on Sunday the 3rd of June. The lunch will cost 60 pence - one penny for each year of the Queen's reign. The number of places is limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

To register your interest please contact Councillor Tom Dempsey on 07932 158931.

Junior Art Competition

Are you aged between 5 and 11 years and want to show everyone in the village your artistic skills as part of the jubilee celebrations? If so, Whyteleafe Village Council will be holding an art exhibition in St Luke's Hall on the morning of the 3rd of June and will be awarding two lucky entrants in each age bracket a framed commemorative certificate.

Whyteleafe Village Community Garden - marking the Queen's Diamond Jubilee

A special tree planting will take place at 12:30pm on the 3rd of June in the Whyteleafe Village Community Garden along with the placing of a commemorative plaque from the village. The garden is just opposite Whyteleafe school so why not make a date in your diary and come and celebrate with your village Councillors?

Over the next few weeks you will see posters and flyers around the village providing more details of these events and how you can take part. So watch this space as they say!

Whether you are celebrating the jubilee at home with friends and family, getting together with neighbours, having a picnic in Whyteleafe Recreation Ground or taking part in one or more of the events above, it would be great to hear your plans so please do let the Council know by contacting This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
