Amanda Lloyd
1990 Carnival Princess

Amanda Lloyd
Amanda Shuttlewood nee Lloyd was crowned Canvey Princess in 1990 along with Suzanne Knox as Queen and Tina Wines as the other Princess. It was the year when at first no one entered the contest and the organisers were starting to panic. Eventually several girls came forward and these three lucky girls were picked as Canvey’s court for 1990.
Suzanne Knox was crowned at the paddocks by businessman Mr James O’Brian. Mr O’Brian whose Company Symien Coaches sponsored the crowning dance also did the honours for Amanda, Tina and the Deputy Queen Paula Fiddy who had been Queen for 1989.

Snappers are snapped. Canvey Court popped into the Benfleet Camera Club and the members got busy snapping away
Entrance from 12 carnival associations gathered together at the Paddocks to find the best. These competitions were held every year. It was a lot of fun for the girls but not a serious competition.
