around the valley on VE Day in May, with many people making good use of the Bank Holiday to hold good old-fashioned knees ups, all reminiscent of the
celebrations in 1945. People wore the clothes
of 1945 and tucked in to wartime food, but, unlike the food, the fun was not rationed on a day that will be remembered for many years to come. However, amidst all the

AS the Royal Family’s foundations shook under the weight of huge criticism, Ribble Valley residents were busy crowning their own monarch, Queen Christine I, in 1995. The area’s first monarch is, in fact, Clitheroe woman Christine McKenna, who was apppointed as part of a tonguc-in-chcek move to help charity and boost tourism. Our picture shows Queen Christine’s subjects paying homage to her during the coronation service, held at the official market opening ceremony in June.
