This historical pageant concerned the Battle of Hastings. At the time we were taught that King Harold was killed by an arrow in his eye; current research of course questions this version of events.
My photograph shows Richard Whiting as King Harold and myself as the archer who shot the arrow through Harold’s eye.
I am sorry but I cannot remember the names of the young ladies in the group. Perhaps you recognise yourself or someone else?
If you can help, please post a comment below.

I recognise the girls but can’t remember their names. I was in a pageant there, I was Paddy Doyle then.
I was supposed to be in this pageant but caught chicken pox so could not attend. Someone else (no idea who) wore the costume my mother had made for me. I do remember Paddy Doyle. I was Virginia Winters in those days.
Great memories. Does anyone remember this pageant? I was one of the knights with King John in this photo representing the signing of the Magna Carta.
