Hello Readers,

Welcome to the May 2023 issue of Look Local Magazine.

What an exciting and patriotic month we have with THREE bank holidays to enjoy, thanks to the Kings Coronation. There’s so much going on this month from street parties to village events in pubs, parks and community centres. Check out my mini feature on Page 18 for a few ideas and I’ve also included a summer favourite recipe on page 19, which is sure to be a great hit if you’re hosting a party at home.

This issue also features not one, not two, by THREE competitions. Turn to page 14/15 for more information on these great give-aways and how to enter to win some great prizes.

And as its the Kings Coronation on Saturday 6th May I thought i’d share a few fun facts about our new king:

• He was born on 14th November 1948, at Buckingham Palace in London.

• Charles has always been the heir to the throne, and is the longest-serving heir in British history.

• King Charles is a keen pilot having spent time flying planes for the RAF and also flying helicopters for the Royal Navy.

• He is also a keen diver and is the first ever British monarch to have a qualification in diving.

• He was the first member of the Royal Family to receive a degree from a British university having graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in history from Trinity College in Cambridge in 1970. He also completed a diploma in anthropology and archaeology.

• King Charles plays three instruments: the cello, piano and trumpet.

Have a great month and enjoy all the Bank Holiday entertainment, lets hope the sun comes out to play too.

Until next month, enjoy reading...

The Importance Of A Will

Having a will is arguably one of the most important things you can do for yourself and your family. Not only can a will legally protect your spouse, children, and assets, it can also spell out exactly how you would like things handled after you have passed on.
