East Cowes Town Crafters have knitted, sewed, cross-stitched, crocheted, stitched, cut, drilled, painted and varnished creations to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
The industrious crafters have been so hard at work over the past 3 months that their creations took 2 days to put up with the help of East Cowes Fire Station on Monday.
Their display includes 7 large boards for each decade of the Queen’s reign, showcasing historic events here on the Island and further afield.
The chain arch has been decorated in the Platinum Jubilee colours with 32 heart wreaths, 32 flower wreaths, 4 shields with royal flags and Jubilee emblems and 3 queen’s guards.
Around East Cowes are to be found mini-guard silhouettes of the Queen’s head, crowns big and small, flowers and hearts, corgis and horses, and a celebration of the RAF. Between the shops, the ladies made cross stitch flags attached to the bunting.
The umbrella tree has been decorated with hearts, mini-guard and crown mobile hangings, wreaths and bunting. Meanwhile, the nearby Town Hall has a 17x12ft Union Flag on stage, originally made for the VE day celebrations.
