Ribble Valley Country Cottages

Last Friday Lord-Lieutenant Mrs Amanda Parker JP and Deputy Lieutenant Robert Parker hosted four of Lancashire’s World War II and D-Day Veterans for a tour of Browsholme and tea 🫖

The previous owner of Browsholme Colonel ‘Reggie’ Parker DSO was a topic of conversation as he assumed command of the 12th Parachute Battalion at D-Day when the Commander was killed, leading the charge into battle and was subsequently awarded a DSO for gallentry.

Pictured from left to right in the Regency Drawing Room are: Bill Mould (RAF, 100 years old), Richard Brock (Army, 100 years old), Ken Benbow (Royal Navy, 98 years old) and Stewart Taylor (RAF, 101 years old).

A lovely afternoon with wonderful company!

Thank you to the ever incredible for being ‘official photographer’ and our wonderful Adele for organising the hospitality 💕

This is good to see 😊

🔦 SAVE THE DATE: Saturday 5th October 🔦 The torchlight procession is heading back to Clitheroe in the Autumn. On this occasion, it will be a magical lantern walking procession to commemorate 50 years of Clitheroe Town Council. If, like me, you are incredibly youthful (😉) and can't understand how we've only had a council for 50 years, let me explain. It is 50 years since Clitheroe Borough Council was restructured to form Ribble Valley Borough Council and Clitheroe Town Council, and it seems fitting to bring back one of the town's most revered events from years gone by. The evening will raise funds for and the Ribble Valley Food Bank. Any community groups that are keen to take part are encouraged to email the Chamber of Trade using the address [email protected] 💚
