Comments about this page

• The lady on the left (as you look at the photo) is my Sister Amanda Shuttlewood (was Lloyd). I’ll have to ask her what the name of the other princess was, I think it is Tina. I was princess the year after I have lots of photo’s if needed. Great site by the way, Keep it up. X

• The year is 1954, I think, and the girl on the right is my cousin, Eileen Goller, nee Clarke, who was queen in 1953. I send you a photo of her when she was queen.

• The queen was Zena Robertson, with princess Julie Anne Goode and cant remember the other one sorry. That may well be me sat the other side of Zena though.

• Hi the Queen was actually Kelly Styles and Zena was Deputy Queen and then I am the blond one in front of zena and Dana Petty was beside me before she took over as queen when Kelly stepped down. I believe this was 1985

• Karens name is Hearn not Heran. I am sure this is just a mistype. It’s also wrong in the previous picture.

• Oh my goodness the beautiful lady on the left next to her friend Eileen Goller is my Mum June Manly, nee Saul. She lived at 21 The Avenue with her Mum and Dad, Gladys and Charles Saul and her brothers and sisters Albert Colvin Sheila and Frank. The latter becoming the Tottenham footballer. She Married John Manly of Westman road. She had Charles and I in 1964 and 1961 and moved to Berkshire. She was always embarrassed at being a carnival queen (I think it was her turn in 1952 or 3) but I always thought she was absolutely the most beautiful, but I would wouldn’t I. Jane
