expressed by Alison Lewia: the May Queen-elect, and Grant


inson. The train bearers were Peter Pearson and Peter Baines, and the sword bearer John Har­ rison.


- The Queen-elect paused at the


village war memorial for an act of Remembrance and the laying of flowers. Bringing up the rear were those taking part in the fancy dress parade. On reaching the field, the


retiring queen crowned her suc­ cessor. and the new Queen ascended the tin-one. Then came the fancy dress


parade , for which the judges were Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Ken­ yon of Slaidburn. Prizes were awarded as follows: Children: 1 D. Walker (The.Chelsea Look); 2 Linda Whitfield (“Pendle Witch"), and. Stephen Silver- wood (“Cassius Clay). Adults: 1 Miss M. Jackson,


(“No More Strikes for England). One person who was very


much missed was Mrs. Eleanor Waterworth, who is in hospital following an accident. Mrs. Waterworth has been in charge o f the refreshment committee for a considerable time. This year the secretary, Mrs. J. Thompson, added still another job to her already heavy list and took on the supervision of the tea marquee. The sports committee worked hard and kept the programme moving. Mr. J. Thompson was in charge of the loudspeaker.
