The joint Beacon lighting for Midsomer Norton and Westfield to celebrate the Queen’s 90th Birthday last Thursday at Midsomer Norton Rugby Club was a little more eventful than expected, with a retained fire crew from Paulton arriving having responded to a call, only to find the organised event on arrival, admittedly, with a very large bonfire! Peasedown St John, which has its own Beacon, held celebrations at the hall, with schoolchildren leading the celebrations – singing the National Anthem and a rendition of ‘Happy Birthday’.
