My Uncle Malcolm who lives In London emailed myself to let me know he had spotted his sister, my Mam In the photo , My Mam the late Allyson Smith ( Nee Jones ) was a herald the one on the bottom left kneeling, her friend the Late Sandra Trewartha was the other herald on the right . My mams dad, my Grandad (Glanville Jones) was the production manager of Kaysor Bonder back then at he had the costumes made for the carnival , my Mam and Sandra had plastic trumpets/horns and my grandad played the trumpet behind the scenes ,as he was a musician. My uncle Malcolm also remember how hard it was to get the white feather for the hats. Back then it was considered an honour to be involved in the carnival. Thank you Stephen Kerrigan for submitting the photo, it was such a joy to see my Mam in it.
