July Cartoons
Each month in the magazine, one or two ‘cartoonchurch.com‘ cartoons are published. After a request, I thought I’d publish them in a post each month.
The cartoonist is Dave Walker, who publishes cartoons in the Church Times each week. His cartoons are extremely well thought out and represent various aspects of life in the Church of England. All cartoons are reproduced with permission.
You can view larger versions by clicking on each cartoon.

Diamond Jubilee 2012
St Mary’s celebrate Her Majesty’s Diamond Jubilee in style on Saturday evening with Woodkirk’s take on Last Night of the Proms.
The church was adorned with Union Flags, leading down the path, into the porch and down the sides of the nave, into the choir and a large Union Flag hanging before the chancel.
We were very fortunate to welcome the award-winning Rodillian Singers (http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Rodillian-Singers/29360416865), and Yeadon Hand Bell Ringers. We were also very fortunate to welcome soloist Katie Raynor who has just completed a Performing Arts Degree.
The audience were provided with suitable attire with Union Flag bowler hats, and provided with flags.
After a wonderful mixture of music, the evening ended with the end of the Last Night favourites, belted out with gusto by the audience.
The celebrations continued on Sunday with a Big Jubilee Sunday Lunch. Canapes, full roast, desert, cheese and biscuits and tea and coffee was a wonderful celebration.
