Last weekend Marquee Bar provided a bar to assist in the residents of Dunnington Village, east of York raise money for the award-winning Dunnington In Bloom Competition. The village has enjoyed success for many years and finally it has been recognised in The Queen’s birthday honours list.
Dunnington Parish councillor Roy Freer, who lives in the village which is east of York, received an MBE for services to the community in June last year (2009).
Roy, a grandfather, 76, became chairman of the Dunnington In Bloom committee in 2000, and the village has since won many awards, including last year’s silver gilt award in the Britain In Bloom competition.
He said: “I feel very honoured, absolutely over the moon. I just couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t have done it without the help of a fantastic Dunnington In Bloom committee.”
