Flagpole Rethreaded

On Saturday 28th May 2016 the Diamond Jubilee Flagpole of Saint Leonard’s Parish Church in Loftus was rethreaded with a new halyard after the previous halyard frayed and snapped.

The Rector said, “We have been unable to fly a flag from Saint Leonard’s Loftus for a number of months since the old rope failed us; consequently, I am delight that our flagpole has been restored and is in full working order ahead of our celebration of HM The Queen’s official 90th Birthday on Saturday 11th June.”
