A TIME capsule was buried in Rhynie as part of the villages Platinum Jubilee Celebrations.
During a sunshine weekend of events, the community's oldest resident Dylas Jordan from Windyfield and the youngest, babe in arms, James Webster from Cushnie Cottage placed the capsule into a site in the Church gardens.

As the beacon was lit, drams were poured and a toast made to The Queen.
The Sunday celebrations started with a Church service followed by a Family Picnic in The Square.
Warm sunshine provided the perfect backdrop and around 150 people enjoyed the afternoon.
The Rev.Regine Cheyne welcomed all and a tractor road run started off the proceedings
