Evelyn and John Miller of Hilperton with Evelyn’s best decorated brolly
A member of the Bradford on Avon Jazz Club was delighted when her hand-decorated umbrella won top prize at an Easter music event.
John Millard, 73, and his wife Evelyn, 77, from Hilperton, had been at the New Orleans Easter jazz weekend at the Wessex Hotel in Street and were taking part in a parade of decorated brollies.
Mr Millard said: “My wife, who is in a wheelchair, has been decorating the brolly on and off for around eight years.
“She was thrilled when she won and she was given a bottle of red wine.”
The couple have been members of the jazz club, which is held at the Mount Pleasant Social Club, for 10 years.
Mrs Millard was awarded her prize by Peter Phillips, Grand Marshall of the Camelia Brass Band.
