What a day of double celebrations in Cutts Close, Oakham! Amidst the vibrant Party in the Park festivities, honoring VE Day, VJ Day, and Armed Forces Day, two remarkable women, Sophie and Gwyn Andrews, marked their birthdays with joy and fanfare.

Many people enjoyed the various commemorations, but it was extra special for Sophie. She was treated to a personal serenade and shared a delightful dance with the singer, creating a memorable moment for everyone present.
