    The crowning of a May Queen at Chester.

  • Description

    Item title reads: " May Queen crowned at Chester Children's Carnival."

    Chester

    Lots of people and children take part in a parade. There are crazy floats, one with a tall figure with lanterns and angels. People in costume are dancing and skipping round. The May Queen wears a short skirt, tiered dress, and lovely shoes. She poses with her flowery crown. L/S as she parades with a long train held behind her.

    Note: This could be part of 'Liverpool May Day Procession and Horse Show' -missing in January 2001 - or it could be the missing item from G 1402 26/05/1927 - May Queen Crowned.
