I WOULD just like to say through the pages of the Journal, a big thank you to the organisers of the Stratford Bank Holiday Jubilee celebrations, it was fantastic.

The Sealed Knot was very interesting and a new experience for me and my family. The soldier who was walking around the perimeter rope, stopped to answer all our questions and showed us his musket, sword and ammo.

The stage entertainment was excellent, Good Rockin Tonight were superb, we were singing and dancing along with them.

My kids thought we had gone mad, I just wish the evenings stage show had been publicised more widely.

I live in Solihull, I only found out about the whole weekend by hearing the cannons when we came out of Matalan and the evening show was discovered when I visited your website on Monday evening, We jumped in the car and travelled back to Stratford for the second time that day.

It was well worth it, the firework display was the best I have seen, my son was open mouthed. So once again, a very big thank you for a wonderful bank holiday.

DAVID READE AND FAMILY, Solihull.
