The bunting has been out all month at Labels Shopping in Ross-on-Wye to celebrate the shop’s 25th anniversary.

The colourful vintage fabric bunting was all hand made by Labels Colleagues, who met up regularly after work to cut the fabric into triangles and sew then all together, in their own time.

“It took us a month to make 70 metres of bunting.” Said Jayne Walters, Sales Floor Coordinator at Labels, whose idea it was to take on the mammoth task. “I don’t think that that we’ve broken any world records, but we at least we all had great fun doing it.”

To celebrate the 25th anniversary Labels Colleagues and associates attended a party held at the store on Sunday evening where the vintage theme continued, with traditional games like Pin the Tail on the Donkey, Hoopla and a tough general knowledge quiz.

Joyce Thomas, retired County Councillor, who attended the event, commented: “Labels attracts visitors to our area from all over the region, if not the country. I speak to many of them who tell me that they always go on to visit our beautiful market town of Ross-on-Wye during their visit.

"I’m delighted to have been involved with Labels from day one and I wish them every success for the future.”
