An amazing memory of Nuneaton Carnival. I can see Geoff Plumpton King Of Mirth, and am hoping someone will recognise one of the carnival maids. Also GEORGE the Peacock makes an appearance. There is no sound.
We think this could be 1968.
Many thanks to Paul Gardner at Hinckley District Past & Present for allowing us to share this with you.

It is indeed Geoff Plumpton. The longest serving King of Mirth I believe. And it was 1968, I’m sure of this as my 1st attendance was 1969. And I’m not by his side or on the flat they used. He went on to serve on the carnival committee for many years. He sadly passed in 2016.
