  1. This was the first Brownie May Queen I remember, around 1966/7 when I was either 9 or 10. Mrs Dumbleton (?) was Brown Owl and Mrs Howard was Tawny Owl (in the glasses). On the row standing up: 2nd from the left is Ann Hopkinson, the first attendant is Margaret Mary Peterkin (the Rector’s elder daughter who was queen the following year), over her shoulder is Denise Frogatt, the girl in uniform just to the right of the standing attendants is Vicki Oliver (and then Jane Barker next to her?) and second from the right is Susan Bailey. Christine Dobson was May Queen, and I (was Jane Wood) am kneeling at the side of her as Crown Bearer (hence the cushion). Of the uniformed Brownies kneeling I remember Jane Cutts (far left) Pauline Bailey (3rd from the left) and I think 2nd from the right is Bridgit Peterkin. Apologies to the rest, I remember many faces but their names escape me. A few weeks after the crowning we were in the parade for the May Bank Holiday Garden Party which was held in the Rectory garden. My parents have a bit of movie film somewhere of the parade from either that year or the next.
