"I am delighted to have been asked to read at Salisbury Cathedral’s own official service of celebration and, for the rest of the weekend, I will be trying to get around as many of the different community events as I can.
"I will put in a shift tending the community garden in Harnham at the invitation of Cllr Eleanor Wills, and I will enjoy the city events focused around the Close and Queen Elizabeth Gardens.
"I am grateful for all the kind invitations to come and join in the fun in people’s homes and neighbourhoods and I will be looking in on as many of them as I possibly can over the long weekend."
