Suffolk Show 2008
The 2008 Suffolk Show was a great success! This two-day event seems to get bigger and better each year.
The Duchess of Gloucester arrived mid morning to be greeted by the Lord Lieutenant of Suffolk, Lord Tollemache, and Chief Constable Simon Ash. She was dressed in a beige linen jacket and patterned skirt. The Duchess was introduced to a host of dignitaries including leading members of the Suffolk Agricultural Association before presenting prizes to the young winners of the Suffolk Schools' Competition.
The Duchess of Gloucester is a member of the British Royal Family, the wife of Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester, a grandchild of George V. She and her husband reside at Kensington Palace in London - birthplace and childhood home of Queen Victoria.
The second day of the show began in sunshine and attracted even higher numbers of visitors than the day before. The trade stands also offered plenty to keep the crowds busy with 100 additional exhibitors to this year's event, bringing the total to 700.
The film below gives a quirky flavour of this popular agricultural event in Suffolk and includes entertainment by Winston the 'singing farmer', views of the farming equipment displays, equestrian events and activities for the children too! Fellow exhibitors with the Rural Crafts Association are featured (along with Ron on the piano of course) and there is even a glimpse of our fine silver and gold jewellery too under the watchful eye of Wendy! Those wanting to have a closer look at our popular silver daisy jewellery, or our new silver and gold jewellery designs, should log onto:

Once again my son, Dani and his group 'Razorblade Oscilloscope' have provided the background music.
