There's a special guest at the village fete.

There's a special guest at the village fete, and Lilian wins on points.

There's a buzz around today's fete, with Kirstie Allsopp on hand to open proceedings. Fallon's awestruck by her heroine - the 'queen of upcycling'. Impressed Kirstie encourages Fallon to open her own tea room in Ambridge.
Kirstie's also impressed by Lilian's knitting. Keen to get out of her demo, Lilian fakes a wrist injury, but suspicious Lynda puts her on the spot with a knitting query from Nic. Lilian has to confess to innocent Nic that she hasn't got a clue.
David and Jill have produced t-shirts and postcards for the SAVE campaign, and Josh and Phoebe are editing the video from the walk around the proposed Route B. Jill's asking people to write to their local MP, but PC Burns is careful not to take sides.
Jill enjoyed seeing Carol Tregorran - sad that it had to be at a funeral. She wonders how things had been in recent years between Carol and John.
The fete is raising money for armed forces charities, in memory of WW1. Lynda points out to Kirstie the real and present danger of the new road. Kirstie's keen to support the anti Route B brigade, promising to use her social media profile.
Charlie lavishly entertains the editor and photographer from the Borchester Echo turn up. David wonders what the press will make of today's event.
