Sun blesses postponed carnival
Horsley Woodhouse Carnival organiser Derek Durose declared Saturday’s show ‘a marvellous day.’
“We couldn’t have asked for better weather at any time of year - never mind the end of September,” he said. “It was absolutely glorious.”
The carnival had been due to go ahead in July - but was postponed by the illness of the canival’s long-time organiser Eric Lancashire MBE and by inclement weather.
Derek said: “We had to alter all sorts of bookings but I think we pulled it off all right in the end. Eric turned up and did the commentary.
“I was well pleased with the equestrian display and the Harlequin Dancers performed- they were lovely - really good.”
