Well, a few weeks ago I was at the Earlswood Carnival. The Hawley Carnival is in a few weeks' time, plus there's Pub in the Park and the Reigate Summer Festival and Rayfest, and probably something that you're going to be organising or going to as well, somewhere across Reigate, Redhill or Merstham, Buckland, Betchworth or Brockham.

Now, if we look back on our local history, Reigate pageants were all the rage back in the early 1900s, particularly between 1913 all the way through to 1963. Now, the first in 1913 was the Pilgrims pageant, actually staged on Collie Hill, and that had a whole procession of costumed characters reflecting the days when the Pilgrims toiled along the way.

The second one was held not on Collie Hill, but at the old bus garage on the corner of Bell Street and Lesborne Road. Do you remember that? Do you remember the old bus garage is what I'm asking you to remember, not the actual pageant. It was to celebrate the coronation of King George VI in 1937, with Reigate Grammar School providing one of the ensembles there.

The last five pageants were performed in Reigate Priory Park on a huge scale, and they were actually directed by someone called Cecile Hummel, who taught history to schoolchildren at Merstham Grange. A pageant of Reigate in 1951 was devised to celebrate the Festival of Britain and included the scenes from Reigate's past, including rather curiously, according to my research...

George Frederick Handel conducting his water music beside Priory Lake. And I don't think that ever happened. I don't think Handel ever came to Reigate. I could be wrong in that regard. The Heritage of the Crown happened in 1953, celebrated, what do you reckon, in 1953? Yeah, the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. It was all about kings and queens and chivalry. Reigate Grammar School participated.

They did a version of the Battle of Agincourt, apparently. The Surrey Cavalcade was in 1956, included different historical scenes from across Surrey, not just the planet Reigate area, including King John signing Magna Carta at Runnymede, highwaymen and smugglers on Bagshot Heath. Heck, we've had a few highwaymen, haven't we, on Reigate Heath as well.
