Four generations prepare for Royal Wedding party in Woodford Green
Four generations will come together to �celebrate the Royal �wedding tomorrow (Friday), against a backdrop of rows of houses draped in flags in what could possibly be Redbridge’s biggest party.
Organiser Lisa Skelt, of Kensington Drive, Woodford Green, will be celebrating Prince William and Kate �Middleton’s nuptials with more than 200 �residents, her mother Brenda �Little, and Brenda’s mother, great-grandmother Lily Drew, 91.
‘Memorable’
Residents are also taking part in a competition for the best-dressed house, with a prize of bottles of wine.
Mrs Drew said: “I �remember the Coronation in 1953, we were all out in the street, it was a fabulous day.
