Around 1,000 individuals participated in the crowning of the chicken at Cinderford’s Triangle
A big crowd gathered to a Gloucestershire town to witness the crowning of its “Coronation Chicken”.
Around 1,000 individuals participated in the crowning of the chicken at Cinderford’s Triangle on Saturday.
Buffy is a Buff-Orpington Sussex cross and is “a little bit of a show-off and a little bit of a poser”, said her owner.
The Mayor of Cinderford Cllr Roger Sterry said that he had actually had a hard time to select a winner from the 34 chickens which had actually looked for the function.
Cinderford Town Crier Jeremy Holland revealed that Buffy would be crowned the Coronation Chicken.
Buffy, a female chicken owned by Anne Lameraft, is among 8 she has in her little flock.
‘Only in Cinderford’
Mr Holland informed the crowd enjoying the crowning: “This is insane, as quickly as we have a celeb chicken in the Triangle, we draw in a crowd like this. Only in Cinderford might this occur.”
The town crier then screamed out: “Oyez, oyez, good individuals of Cinderford, and all throughout our terrific country, we collect here today for this minute of elation.
“For as in our capital, we crown King Charles III, right here in Cinderford, we too crown our bird.
“Hip hip hooray, hip hip hooray, hip hip hooray, well done Queen Buffy,” which was followed by a big cheer from the rain-drenched crowd.
