Thornaby held its Yorkshire Day celebrations with a community event on
Thornaby Green, which started with a service at the ancient St Peter's Church. There was a wide variety of stalls and entertainment for all the family. Chris was invited to open the proceedings with a reading of the Yorkshire Declaration of Integrity. The Yorkshire
Ridings Society stall raised £40 from the sales of Yorkshire products and over £60 for the
Thornaby Town Mayor's Charity. Local residents were invited to have their photograph taken in front of the Yorkshire flag for display in
Thornaby Library. Chris had his taken with Stockton Borough Councillor Eileen
Craggs.
The event was organised by the newly formed
Thornaby Yorkshire Day Society, who with help from
Thornaby Town Council, put on an excellent show which can
only grow. More pictures will follow in a few days. Pictured are members of the new society reading
Thornaby's own
'Five Lamps' poem.

Nice use of the English flag. How does that welcome the non-English and include them ?
