The Parish and Community of Castel, Guernsey
The Queen's Golden Jubilee - June 3rd 2002 To celebrate the occasion of the Queen's Golden Jubilee, the Constables and Douzaine decided to hold a parish party at the Fairfield which was a great success with an estimated several thousand people visiting during the course of the day. The central feature was the 'crowning' of the Castel Parish 'Queen'.
