August 30, 2001: SPICE Girl Mel B enjoyed a family day out at Little Marlow Village Fete as temperatures soared to record levels over the bank holiday.
Thousands attended Monday's annual fete raising more than £4,000 to help spruce up the village's much-used Pavilion.
Organiser Clive Innocent described the fete as the most successful to date.
He said: "A record amount of money has been raised."
Spice Girl Melanie Brown joined in the fun on Monday with daughter Phoenix Chi and signed autographs for approaching fans.
There were many attractions including a very successful home made jam sale, a bouncy castle, a display of Royal coaches, live calypso music and a train ride from Bourne End Rotary Club.
Children also enjoyed organised races throughout the day and the parish council showed villagers how the funds raised from the fete would be used to renew the pavilion.
The traditional raffle proved popular with the £100 first prize won by Myra Harley and a second prize of £50 won by Jane Wilson.
