Thank you to everyone who attended the event. It was a wonderful day and all our visitors created a lovely atmosphere. We were very fortunate to have such excellent weather and also to be able to share out day with Michael Wood and his team filming for the BBC. Hopefully some of the footage will make the cut and everyone can relive the day when it is broadcast.

The event was very well attended on a beautiful day. There was a lovely atmosphere of a real country day out. The organisers have received many compliments since the day for providing such a varied and interesting programme. The most frequent comment was that having come for a couple of hours, people were still finding things to do at the close.

Michael Wood and his two man crew spent the day with us, filming for a series to be shown on BBC2 before the Queen's Diamond Jubilee next year. Michael has filmed in Laxton since 1984, when he recalls 'capturing some fantastic images, with Laxton under a light dusting of snow'. He enjoyed catching up with old friends and was thrilled to be able to plough two furrows with a team of horses and discover just how hard it is. His crew would agree having had to follow along the developing furrow at some speed while managing to keep filming and recording. The team's presence gave an extra excitement to the day - especially for a visitor who had come specially from Devon and who went home with an autographed programme and a photo with her 'pin up'!

The final total raised as a result of everyone's efforts and generosity was £4,100 and Laxton PCC would like to express their gratitude to everyone who supported the day in any way.
