Wymondham had a special visitor on St George’s Day, when “Queen Victoria” honoured us with her presence.
Georgette Vale reprised one of her many historical personas as she toured the town centre.
Her Majesty sampled a specially made Victoria Sponge at the Heritage Museum Tearoom, where she met another Victoria and she called into nearby Fairland Court, for another cake tasting.
Next, she dropped into the office of Andy Free, Independent Family Funeral Director. They had invited members of the public to view the recently refurbished HSBC building, where Her Majesty was introduced to Andy’s wife, Victoria.
This was followed by a meeting with Market Street jeweller, Victoria Jane.
Georgette later acted as a Town Guide to give a talk about the history of the Market Cross.
In other St George’s news, Simple Cards in Market Street was declared the Best Decorated Shop (and also received a royal visit). And the Thursday Art Group contributed too, with a dragon-themed St George’s display.
A good time was had by all, and it would appear that Her Majesty was amused.
