Description |
On a rainy day a woman on horseback leads the parade followed by a marching band, people in fancy dress, a girls’ dance troupe and tractors pulling decorated floats. Rose Queens from the local area are followed by Morris dancers and the Lower Withington Rose Queens in vintage cars bring up the rear of the parade. At the showground the Rose Queen coronation ceremony begins watched by a group of former Rose Queens dating back to 1949. After the parade of the floats the fancy dress competition prizes are handed out by the Rose Queen. The film ends with children dancing around the Maypole, the dance troupe with pom-poms and a demonstration by the Morris dancers. |
