THE Queen's Golden Jubilee provided an ideal opportunity for a party to celebrate a new lease of life for a village's former primary school.
Villagers of all ages celebrated Skinningrove's new community centre, following a £239,000 facelift.
Mayor of Redcar and Cleveland Councillor Eric Jackson yesterday opened the centre, which has a computer suite, a community Internet caf, creche, a community room and office space.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony also seemed a good excuse to enjoy jubilee celebrations.
Amanda Buck, the scheme's co-ordinator, said: "We're really proud of the new facility and want to celebrate."
