CHESHIRE dairy farmers joined stars and special guests to celebrate the coronation with King Charles at Windsor Castle.

Ray and Jill Brown, who run Bidlea Dairy with their family, were overwhelmed to receive tickets to the star-studded concert on Sunday.

The couple were enthralled to watch Lionel Ritchie, Kate Perry, Nicole Scherzinger and Take That perform.

“You’re not going to get that opportunity again.”

The dairy was asked to produce a special Coronation label on their milk after being invited to the Houses of Parliament to meet ministers to promote Cheshire businesses last year.

This time, the family also made a selection of Coronation ice creams including strawberry, cherry, raspberry and blueberry cheesecake as well as cherry bakewell and trifle.

Prosecco sorbet has also proved very popular with customers.

The secret of their success, the family believes, is the rich cream and top quality milk produced by their 300-strong Holstein Friesian herd.

Adam said: “We have been really busy, especially our vending machines which are open 24/7.

“What makes our ice cream so special is that it is made from milk and cream from our own herd.

“Our cows produce free range milk with a higher butter fat.

“The milk is pumped through an overhead pipeline direct from the milking parlour into the pasteuriser.”

Adam and wife Becky, 30, work with Adam’s brother Ryan, 28, and his wife Becky, sister Melanie, Becky’s mum Angela Williams and other members of the family and friends.
