Description

The 1980 Lower Withington Rose Queen festival parade begins with a girls' dance troupe, a marching brass band, floats people in fancy dress collecting money for charity and a group of Morris dancers. The Rose Queens pass by in a vintage convertible and a horse-drawn carriage. The parade arrives at the showground and the coronation ceremony of the Rose Queen begins. This is followed by the prize giving for the fancy dress and best decorated float competition.
