Mrs Hillman of Lyng in Somerset
remembered celebrating Queen Victoria ’s
Diamond Jubilee in 1897 when she was nine years old.
She went to tea in the schoolroom at Lyng where the children
were presented with celebration mugs and then went on a ride in a horse-drawn
farm wagon to Burrowbridge. Everyone climbed to the top of Burrow Pump where a
bonfire was lit.
