In early 2020, when Coronavirus had barely been heard of, community-minded Martin and Kaye received their first invitation to a Royal Garden Party..

That event had to be postponed because of the lockdown.

During the pandemic, their Post Office in Market Place remained fully open to maintain essential services for the town.

Last year, they received a new invite for May 2022, just before Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations. Sadly, they were unable to go as they had staff on holiday.

Now, they will be attending shortly after the Coronation of King Charles III.

Martin said: “We are very excited to be going to the Royal Garden Party at Buckingham Palace. We’re finally getting there!

"We are really pleased that although we couldn’t attend last year our names remained on the invitation list for this year.

" So, we were first invited by the Queen and now we have kindly been invited by the King.”

Martin continued: “We decorated our branch for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations and now we’ve got Coronation and Union Jack decorations too.

"With two big Royal occasions in successive years, there will again be a Royal theme for the town with Caistor in Bloom.”
