Former Stafford prisoner of war to share special jubilee tea with mayor
A 96-year-old former soldier is looking forward to being one of the guests of honour at a special afternoon tea to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Kurt Gasch is one of a handful of residents born in the same year as Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ll to have already accepted an invitation to attend the event in May.
Stafford Borough Council is looking for nonagenarians to join the mayor for an afternoon tea, with music and memories, to celebrate the 70 years the Queen has been on the throne.
The only requirements are that the person is a resident of the borough and was born in 1926.
The ‘royal’ tea will take place at 3pm on Sunday, May 29, in the Fitzherbert Suite of Stafford Rugby Club in Blackberry Lane.
