St Nicolas’ Church Bells rang at the time of the St Paul’s Cathedral jubilee service. The Queen could not attend but watched the broadcast like many other people. The Archbishop of York said, ‘So, thank you for staying the course. Thank you, for continuing to be faithful to the pledges you made 70 years ago. Thank you for showing us how service and faithfulness matter. People of all faiths and no faiths and people of goodwill can learn from this.’<\/em>
\n
\nThere were more community stalls in Rye Farm Meadow, including this one from Abingdon Court Care Home, showing off some of the resources and activities they use to make life more stimulating for people with dementia.
\n
\nIn the Marquee during the day, the ATOM Science Festival was a buzz of experimental activity with many children and a few adults learning about Science. These scientists are telling us how harmful proteins can be modelled and crystalised so that ways can be found to counteract them.
\n
\nIn the Marquee in the evening, there were bands. They included Rodney Quakes from Abingdon. (If you missed them there is a short video at https:\/\/youtu.be\/rE3FjngLCOo<\/a>.)
\n
\nOn the Tithe Farm Estate in Abingdon, there was a gathering on Longfellow Drive Green. Lots more street and green parties are still to come.
\n
\nJackie Smith, the town archivist, led a walk on Industrial Abingdon, one of the walks organised by the Friends of Abingdon.
\n
\nAbingdon Bowls Club were dressed in red, white and blue for an afternoon of bowling in Albert Park. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
