Dunstable Town Mayor Councillor Richard Attwell and his fiancé, Patricie, got the party started yesterday for the Quadrant's 60th anniversary.
They were there to cut the cake on the stage and make a speech at 11am, they then visited a few shops and took in some cake to Hinds the jewellers and Boots who are now the only 2 original shops left from opening day in 1966!! They then looked around all the stalls and photos and took a short break in one of the deckchairs while listening to a few of the wartime songs from the professional singer.
