Belgrave cemetery VOLUNTEERS HAVE created a quiet corner in Belgrave cemetery. Around three years ago, two members of the Friends of Belgrave Cemetery Group began the task of clearing piles of waste brick, marble and granite from the north east corner of the cemetery. Through working many Sunday mornings in all weather conditions, they eventually cleared a large area. A legacy received from a late member Mavis Green meant the group were able to pay for extra fencing. The work was carried out by Leicester City Council Bereavement Services and through a request of the Group’s the fence was moved back to the boundary. With roses purchased by a friend of Mavis and a seat provided by the council the ‘Quiet Corner’ was created. It provides a sunny peaceful place to sit and rest. Not content with their success, Jan Tebbatt and John Tomlinson carried on working along the north border once again clearing chunks of broken marble and bricks, by this time they were spending Saturday mornings toiling away on their project. Robinea-Frisia was the choice of tree planted to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. There will be a dedication ceremony on Sunday June 17 at 2pm, conducted by the Rev Pam Haynes and attended by Leicester City Mayor Sir Peter Soulsby.
World market SHOPPERS ARE being invited to sample the culture of the world at a special Loughborough market to mark the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. Charnwood Borough Council’s Markets and Fairs Team are putting the finishing touches to Walk the World in Loughborough, a one-off celebration of food, produce and goods from all over the globe. Stalls will be set up from Market Place to Biggin Street and will feature a host of goods from Nepal and Turkey to Italy and Australia between 9am-4pm on Wednesday June 6. There will also be live entertainment in the shape of dancers, a pianist and singers. The market is part of Welcome World Week, a series of events in Loughborough which culminates with Games Time, a spectacular show of music, dance, performance and pyrotechnics in Southfields Park on Saturday June 9. Gates open at 8.30pm for a 9.30pm start.
