Just some of the entertainment on the day included giant interactive games, pottery and archery taster sessions, Music in the Bandstand and more.

Musical entertainment was provided by 1940’s singer Miss Sarah Jane and Horncastle’s own Banovallum Brass.

One of the highlights of the day was the Bark in the Park dog show, with prizes in a host of royal-themed categories including Crowned Princess and Majestic Male, Six Royal Legs for owners and their dog, Historic Dog for dogs aged over eight years old, Regal Rescue and Nobel Puppy.

Interactive entertainment was provided by Rhubarb Theatre, where youngsters could enjoy an immersive experience in the giant gardens of the Queen of Hearts, Alice-themed twister, try their hand at croquet, or become champions of the chequers board.

Then there was Knight School by the Blue Knight Public Speaking Academy, where children are taught the medieval codes of conduc, followed by a knighting ceremony performed by the Queen's Champion, Francis Dymoke.

Children that have attended a course from the Blue Knight Public Speaking Academy then addressed the audience with a short extract taken from the Queen's speeches from over her 70-year reign.
