Pageant July 1938

Big Gee I have scanned the photo's from the booklet I have it lists all players at the back but I couldn't find Lilian Sims. It may only list the main players I am not sure. Take a look anyway:)

The last picture is representing the industrial revolution.

Thanks Ragga I have not seen this kept my eyes peeled for any family especially my grandmother. I am sure she was in the midst of it all....
 
Many thanks Raga. I was stunned to see my sister Rene. I have a programme somewhere for the pageant and I have a picture of Rene as Queen Victoria but had never associated the two. Rene would have been eleven or twelve at the time. I am going to see her in a couple of weeks for her grandaughter's wedding. They will both be thrilled to see it.

The Dinosaurs from the 1938 Pageant

Just found this thread... I have a few photos of the Pageant.
Is Ogbert one of these dinosaurs?

Re: Replacing Pictures of Egbert and little Sidney - the Dinosaurs from the 1938 Page

One of the floats from the parade...
On the side it say's: something - something - "Brass Copper Association"... I would love to know what the whole inscription actually is.... Can anyone help with this please?
The 3 people in the foreground are relations of mine and appear in nearly all of my photos.

Here's another photo of the same float in colour!.... This is a 'still' from the Pageant film.

Sorry Jaffa, can't help I'm afraid. I was there though looking a right twit dressed as a Pea-Pod. My family still take the micky out of me. Regards, David.

Ha!... That's a shame David, although I'm sure you made a rather splendid pea-pod!

Here's an "off-stage" photo of my mother who was one of the Stone age/Iron age mob.

There is a thread called "Pageant in the Park, July 24th 1938" where other pictures of Egbert are shown in #24. Dave

Edit. Threads now merged.
 
These two images seem to be of the same event. The temporary column of St George has been discussed elsewhere on the forum. Viv.
