ANN Davenport's labour of love will be centre stage next Saturday at an annual church celebration.

The former traffic warden has created a replica of the coach and horses used for the Queen's Coronation in 1953 and last year's Golden Jubilee.

The model is six feet long and 16 inches high, and took Mrs Davenport five months to complete.

It will have pride of place at the Rainbow fair at St Peter's Church in Congleton, on June 14.

Mrs Davenport, aged 64, of Park View, Congleton, created a replica of the crown jewels last year.

The frame for the team of six Windsor Grey horses and carriage chassis were made from wire, and covered in papier mache.

They were then painted, the coach being finished in gold and containing dolls dressed as the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh.

"I got the idea from watching the Queen and Duke travelling in the coach last year from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey in the jubilee," said Mrs Davenport.

"I recorded the journey on video, and kept referring to it when I was making the model.

"I started making it on January 1st, and worked on it for four hours a day five days a week."

Mrs Davenport is a member of St Peter's Church in Chapel Street, and her husband John made the chassis for the carriage.
