A village deluged by floodwater will come together one year to the day that Storm Desmond struck to celebrate efforts to rebuild the community.

Crosby-on-Eden, to the east of Carlisle, was one of the worst affected places in Cumbria last December.

But residents have spent the last 12 months working hard to get back on their feet.

Piece by piece, key places in the village - like the school and parish hall - have been restored.

However, some people still aren't in their homes.

But to celebrate the efforts over the last year the villagers will come together on Monday (DEC 5) to remember the disaster.

Sue Fox, from the parish hall, has helped coordinate the event.

She told The Cumberland News the day will include morning coffee, soup and a roll at lunchtime as well as an afternoon tea.

There will be a bring-and-buy stall and a bunting-making corner, complete with sewing machines and material. The Carlisle Community Choir will be singing.

After school, a Christmas tree in the centre of the village will be lit up as so many were ruined last year.

To take people's memories back to December 5, 2015, a photographic display of the flood and its effects has been put together.

Work done by the village's flood group to analyse the floods will also be on show.

"One of the main things for us is that the parish hall was completely wrecked and had to be completely stripped down to the bare boards," Mrs Fox said.

"It's been a battle to get it done but now it's beautiful, we have new everything. So this is a showcase of our parish hall."

Mrs Fox will also officially launch her second floods-themed book Joe and Storm Desmond at the event.

Earlier in the year she penned Katie and the Floods, which was aimed at younger children and hoped to discuss the fears felt by youngsters during the floods.

The new book follows one of her recurring characters from her other stories, Joe, and his experience of flooding in Carlisle.

The event is free thanks to a donation from the Cumbria Community Foundation.
