This afternoon the regulars of Trinity Dancing dressed up in red, white and blue as the organisers put on a special dance for the jubilee.
Around 40 dancers formed a large circle and swirled around what had become the dance floor of Knaresborough Community Centre.
Here are some images and a taste of the dancers’ sartorial elegance:
From L-R : Tom and Maureen Stamford, John and Shirley Thompson and new joiners to the dancing group Christine and Mark Howson
Derek Almack from Ripon and Helen Rogers from Knaresborough — both new to the group
Dance partners Edna Holliday from Harrogate and Bart Blok from Knaresborough (note the little bit of bling on Bart’s shirt)
June Weirs from Bilton WI set up a stand in the corner with knitted craft work done 25 years ago for the Ripley Show that celebrated the history of the Queen.
L-R Lesley Bolton, Gloria Tolson, Enid Shaw and Pam Godsell. Enid is one of the Trinity Dance organisers, Gloria and Lesley help too.
Pam Godsell is on the working group for the town council’s jubilee celebrations and is also involved in the Knaresborough Loins. She said:
“I am really pleased with how many have turned out today. I volunteered to open up the community centre as it would normally have been closed and I’m a key holder. It’s a special day and this dance is a free event.”
