I see Miss Dover Float says 1967, what a happy scene and it is Carnival Day today in Bexhill, Saturday 28th July, not so sunny but dry. See if todays carnival can outdo the Olympic Ceremony last night ! Hello to you ''Kiff'' in NZ, think you and I know each other. Every best wish Philip
Wow this is amazing. I'm the boy in the space capsule at 0.47. My brother is in the lorry cab in the striped t-shirt and I think it's my mum in the space suit walking alongside. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Bill. I don't know why I looked for it today. It was lucky I remembered the date. I was 8 years old at the time. The float was made by Caffins garage and Mum worked for them. She can be seen giving out sweets or something to the crowd in he silver space suit.
@derrotkreig Hope to get more "0ldies" from Bexhill up as soon as time permits...... Glad you enjoyed it, and yes great fun in those days..... And not a high-viz in sight Bill
