What a truly Special Evening! Well done & many thanks to All who made this evening such a wonderful Community Event.
I would like to say a big “ Thank You and Well Done “ to the organisers of this event.
Last night was a very fitting tribute to those that we were there to honour and it was great to see such a large turn-out from the villages.
I have heard said too many times that people in Gidding don’t support community events well this just shows that we do !
