Janet Carr, of the committee, said: “We held an afternoon tea to commemorate what would usually be a fantastic occasion, and had an extra delight of the surprise appearance of local musician Tony Wade, with his Elizabethan pipe and tabor and a harmonium, to give an impromptu concert of English folk tunes by the maypole.
"He entertained the gathering, and the customers outside the nearby Red Lion, for half an hour, before a photo call with the May Queen-elect, Ellie Wilson.
“Ellie has now been patiently waiting to be crowned May Queen for two years, and so, together with the Maypole committee, is keeping her fingers crossed that it will be third time lucky in 2022.”
