Oakham, Castle, The Great Hall c1967 (ref: O2063)
 Year: 1967 Castle hit by storm
Not 100% sure if it was 1966 or 67, but I do remember that the castle roof was covered with a tarp for quite some time after lightening hit the castle during a storm.

Oakham, the Queen's Horseshoe c1967 (ref: O2065)
 Year: 1967 Queens Visit
I remember the Queen's visit to Rutland in this year. I remember all the children from the local schools forming the shape of a horseshoe in a field/park? and the Queen being driven around the horseshoe waving to us all.
