I lived down Hope Road, watching the film brought back good memorys, I now live in suffolk, but good luck with the restart of the carnival
I just watched this film again , and i saw there was a Halcon lorry as one of the floats , i worked at Halcons when i left school . If anyone remembers me please contact me ,it would be nice to hear, at the above email .
Fantastic, I so remember them long hot summers, life growing up on Canvey was THE BEST !!!
I recognised several people on the floats and one of the two horse riders was Jacky Barns (nee Healy) I think the other one was Sarah Lawrence. I put a few still photos of this on the Carnival page last year.
Just watched this video and saw my dad bill fullbrook driving the blue lorry for scotts and son magic
