IT has been a special 70th anniversary year.

In 1945 the Second World War came to an end and closer to home a group of women near Tenbury decided to get together.

Now all these years later the Little Hereford Women’s Institute is marking its own 70th anniversary.

The celebrations started with a coffee morning and there will be a party at the Little Hereford Village Hall on Thursday, July 9 at 2pm.
