Celebrating the Jubilee on the Village Green
Glorious weather accompanied the Queens Platinum Jubilee on Thursday 2nd & Friday 3rd June 2022 as Milford on Sea villagers came out to picnic and enjoy the free live music on the village green.
The music was sponsored by The Cave and the artists playing and entertaining the jubilant large crowd were: Carley Varley on Thursday afternoon and Ben Poore on Friday afternoon.
La Perle also had tables outside where people could enjoy Sam's tasty scampi and chips.
On Friday afternoon, the Smugglers Inn also had live music from Jake Among The Willows followed by Sunstroke. There was also a Pimms & Prosecco tent and hog roast to enjoy whilst the children took full advantage of the pub's play park.

Rain at Gillingham Road Jubilee Street Party
The rain slowly appeared at the Gillingham Road Queen's Platinum Jubilee Street Party on Sunday afternoon.
A very colourful afternoon was enjoyed with live music, games for the kids, great party food and a partygoer even provided a visit as the 'Queen's Lady in Waiting'.
With typical British resolve when the rain eventually kicked in, a quick change of clothes and brollies were collected to ensure the party went on.
Even the best organisation & planning cannot control the weather, but the weather can never dampen the British spirit!

Jubilee Street Party at Shorefield Way
Shorefield Way in Milford on Sea held a fabulous Queen's Platinum Jubilee Street Party for around 80 residents, ranging from the very young to possibly our oldest resident Mary, who at 100 was enjoying the festivities with her daughter Margaret, who recently turned 80. Congratulations!
There was of course lots of red, white and blue to help celebrate the Queen’s magnificent reign.
The party catered for everyone; with a children’s play table, a Glitter Bar and street Jenga. Nigel was cooking the crepe’s, and there were loads of tasty treats, gorgeous cakes and lots of bottles to keep everyone well fed and watered.
It is understood that the party went on well into the evening and even had egg and spoon races!
Well done to Christine, Nigel, Abbey and all of the team there who made this a real family event.
Fantastic party, fit for a queen!

Great response to Your+Health Survey
The Milford on Sea League of Friends have sent a huge vote of thanks from the League of Friends Health Hub to the community of Milford on Sea, who responded to the YOUR+HEALTH Survey which came to a close on 31st May.
The organisers look forward to making the results available to be published here in August.
Background
The brief survey, initiated by the the League of Friends, asked for your views on the future of the Milford on Sea War Memorial Hospital.
There is a lot of history and emotion regarding The War Memorial site. Local people wanted a war memorial to help everyone remember those who served and lost their lives in WW1. It was decided that the hospital was the best way to achieve this.
The hospital hasn’t been a working hospital for over fourteen years, and has long been overtaken by the centres of healthcare excellence found at Southampton, Lymington and Bournemouth.
The aim of the survey is to understand your current and future healthcare needs to help achieve improved access to sustainable additional local health services.
One of the ways the League of Friends will be helping the community is by discussing with the NHS Clinical Commissioning Group how local needs of the population can be met.
