Published Date:

PROUD residents gathered together to put on a top-quality fete for their friends and neighbours to enjoy.
The annual St Mary's House fete attracted families from across the town as they took part in events including a raffle and a tombola.
There's about 25 residents at the Whittlesey residential complex, and they wanted to do something for the community during the summer.
Stalls ranged from bric-a-brac to a tombola, and there was food aplenty, with a cake stall proving especially popular.
Part of the money raised from the event goes towards financing trips and entertainment for the St Mary's residents throughout the year.
Whittlesey mayor Steve Garratt said: "It's great to see the sense of community which is so common in Whittlesey.
"Many of the care homes throw open their doors to the public, and the St Mary's fete is always a popular draw. Well done to all involved."
