I’ve just uploaded my first video onto You Tube.  It’s a clip from an old family cine film showing Whaley Bridge Rose Queen in 1965.  It has a quick clip of Brookes’ lorry coming down Old Road.  Some of the 50 something Forum Members might just spot themselves in fancy dress.  Do let us know if you are in it. Then it was over to Taxal Rectory for the crowning of the Queen – does anybody know who it was in 1965? 

The quality isn’t brilliant because it has been converted from cine film to VHS video, then to DVD and then edited to put on to You Tube – but if you were there it should hopefully bring back some fond memories.

 
Here's the link which hopefully should work:

Hi Mrs Curious I think I might be on the footage on@t">don't know how to get on the tube thingy! but i'm guessing I was Cherry Ripe next to or near Miss Radio Caroline, what fond memories. Expanding on a similar theme I wonder if anyone has any Photo's of all the panto's that were put on at the Congregational Church in the 1960's by the Vernon family? Lady Madonna

I do like the Miss Radio Caroline costume with the transmission mast on her head and her skull-and-crossbones hat. I am listening to Radio Caroline at the moment and I hope you don't mind that I sent a link to the video to the station.
Cheers Elmo

Hi Elmo

I don’t mind at all, but don’t forget if it leads to fame and fortune for Miss Radio Caroline, then she can be contacted through me for a modest 20%.
