On Monday 7 May this year's Queen of the May and her attendants were crowned in a ceremony on Strand Wharf. The Queen presided over the afternoon's activities of traditional Clog and Morris Dancing and music provided by Cockleshell Clog and Slow Loris. Punch & Judy staged two shows to add to the fun.
The Maypole dancers from the Morgan Academy of
Performing Arts did an excellent job with
