The run-up - accompanied by the band, which raised spirits to champagne level
serenading the enthusiastic crowd who think the sun might have arrived. . .
. . . while they hoped the rumours about a failure to obtain a Health and Safety
Certificate for the Maypole might cause a cancellation of the children's dancing
-
just in case the beribboned pole leapt up and killed members of the public . . .
This is probably Grandpa with small Tiger . . . or could it be Dad with ditto?
The vacant throne causes interest and speculation . . .
but here come the stars . . .
. . . Princess Joanna and her Attendant, Lady Kitty face a
cold wind, a darkening sky
but the applause of their fans . . .
A bigger view of our May girls
Still waiting . . . oh, dear, was that a raindrop - or
two?
Mrs Margaret Richens introduces the girls, hopes the rain
really won't come, thanks
the organisers of a wonderful day in spite of the chilly wind and prepares to
crown
the May Princess with spring flowers. . .
There . . . good grief, the girls must be freezing! I know
I am and I'm wearing a
jacket!
The cloud above is getting darker . . .
and darker . . .
But there, all done! We'll see you at the Carnival
in August!
And the skies opened, fortunately not
for too long but at this point our photographer left!
Any pictures of the Maypole dancing can be emailed to us to add to this page.
