Seventy people representing each year of the Queen's reign attended a special tea party in Ripon.

Ripon Cathedral has hosted a tea party at which guests represented every year of her Queen's 70-year reign.

The 70 attendees ranged in age from one-year-old Hugo Krippner to Lynn Gray, who was born in 1952.

Each invitee brought a guest with them and in total, 150 people were present for the event organised by Canon Aisla Newby and supported by a large team of volunteers

Another canon of the cathedral, Charles Dodgson, had a son, also named Charles, who wrote under the name Lewis Carroll and was the author of the world famous children's classic Alice in Wonderland, which featured  the Mad Hatter's Tea Party.

Today's gathering was well-organised in contrast to Carroll's fictional and chaotic Mad Hatter event and the guests marked the monarch's reign in an elegant and respectful manner.

Ms Gray who travelled to Ripon from Grassington, told the Stray Ferret:

"It's an absolute privilege to be here, joining with different generations of people to celebrate the Queen's jubilee and her incredible service to this country."


For one-year-old Hugo, whose father Dr Ronny Krippner is Ripon Cathedral's director of music, high tea was taken in a high chair and today's get together will be a memory in the family album that he can look back on in future years.

Dr Krippner, whose wife Audrey and three-year-old daughter Sophie also attended, said:

"We are delighted to be part of an occasion which has historic significance for this community and the country."
