ORGANISERS of a special event to mark the Queen’s platinum jubilee were stunned to receive a letter of thanks from Buckingham Palace and a photo of Her Majesty.
The Queen’s Platinum Concert will be held at St Peter’s Church, Salesbury, on May 28 organised by the team behind the Ribble Valley Music Festival.
Clive Greenwood and his wife Barbara, driving forces behind the event initially thought the letter was a prank but it turned out to be truly a Royal mail.
Inside the envelope was a thank you letter from the Queen’s lady-in-waiting expressing her hopes that the event would be a “most enjoyable event”. Clive also received a commemorative photo of the Queen.
He said: “The letter and card came as a complete surprise. We are humbled and honoured with the interest the Queen has in learning about the Ribble Valley Music Festival and also the best wishes from Her Majesty for the Platinum Concert.
The concert will feature the Wingates Band and students from the Performance Academy. It will feature music from each decade of the Queen’s reign.
A limited number of tickets remain, available from info@ribblevalleymusic.co.uk.
