DESPITE the British weather, a Kidderminster toddler group celebrated in style to mark the golden jubilee.

Trinity Toddlers held a red, white and blue themed party at Trinity Methodist Church - where it meets every week - attended by more than 100 children and parents.

Toddler-made Union flags and golden crowns graced the church, which was decorated specially for the event.

"Twenty-five of us braved the weather and had a paddle in the pool in St George's Park, which the council had filled especially for us," said Mary Bendall, a group committee member.

"They had a great time and we gave them commemorative spoons." Brandon Harrington, three, Mary Bendall with her son James, 19 months, and three-year-old Sarah Daniels are pictured at Trinity Methodist Church during the celebrations.
