Movilla Abbey honoured with Jubilee beacon
Movilla Abbey in Newtownards will be the location for the lighting of a beacon as part of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations on Monday 4 June. The honour belongs to only three places in North Down and one of a few churches in the whole of Northern Ireland.
Pictured with the beacon are Movilla Abbey rector Revd Kevin Graham (right) and Revd Paul Gallucci, the Methodist minister. It’s just one of a series of over 4000 being lit in the United Kingdom. The ceremony will take place at 10.20pm on Monday evening as the finale to a community fun night which starts at 7.45pm.
The night will include live jazz, Ards Voice Community Choir, Vibe Academy, BBQ, Face Painting, Trialstar motorcycle display, Classic vehicles, All Age Fancy Dress, Face Painting, Beat the Goalie, Games, Bouncy Castle and much more.
It’s all free and everyone is welcome to come along.
