The Dial-a-ride shop is very proud to be the winner of the Brecon Chamber of Trade shop window display for the Queen’s Jubilee.

The volunteers feel it is important to point out that no money at all was spent by the charity to dress the window. The only purchase, by a volunteer as her contribution, was the Union Jack bunting.

The piece of jewellery on the Queen’s sash was made by our volunteer whose forte this is. Everything else was a donation or lent to the shop. The newspapers have been arranged in chronological order: from left to right the marriage of the Queen, her father dying, the proclamation for her to become Queen, an article regarding her wedding dress, the carriage taking her to Westminster Abbey, Prince Philip paying homage, the family gathered on the balcony at Buckingham Palace and finally children from a primary school in Poplar, of Call the Midwife fame, singing to the new Queen.

The volunteers’ aim is to upcycle and reuse as much as we can.

Customers have commented you have everything bar the kitchen sink; the volunteers’ true response is we have had the kitchen sink but it has been sold.
