We hope you had a lovely Diamond Jubilee weekend and any celebrations you went to weren’t washed out buy the disappointing weather!
Battersea Park was the setting for a glorious 1950′s vintage fair on Sunday, to coincide with the River Pageant passing by for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Celebrations. We braved the crowds and the threat of rain to attend the event, and were rewarded with a lovely atmosphere and with revellers, entertainment and sideshows that had really made the effort with the 1950′s theme. Here are some of the highlights of our lovely day out:
|
 Ride at the Diamond Jubilee Vintage Steam Fair at Battersea Park |
 Brightly painted and beautifully restored swings at the Vintage Fair |
 This lovely vintage caravan caught my eye! |
 All the fun of the fair! The vintage steam fair had some charming attractions, all lovingly restored. |
 More makeover tents around Battersea Park |
 Red White and Blue Floral head dresses made to measure! |
 Jubilee head dresses were worn around Battersea Park |
 The heart of the vintage entertainment - the 1950's bandstand |
 Some '50's spivs! Maybe he's got black market stockings in that suitcase!? |
 All girl swing band the Bombshellettes got the crowd dancing, as the BBC Cameraman gets a close up! |
 "Don't Sit under the Apple Tree, with anyone else but me...." |
 Girls from the band looking great and sounding brilliant |
 The swing jivers in the crowd strut their stuff! |
 Only meters from the river, but this was the only view we could get. |
 Some people will risk life & limb for a good view. Look in the distance, up on the rooftops! |
All in all a lovely day out and a great memory of the Diamond Jubilee!
