The Duke of Grafton, owner of the nearby Euston Estate, was on hand to light the beacon, having read a message from Prince Charles.

A Commonwealth meal was then enjoyed on Saturday night, with dishes from nations including Trinidad, Zambia, India, Canada and Australia.

On Sunday, a tea party was held for everyone in the village.

A children’s entertainer kept children happy, and the party ended with a communal sing-song.
