Junepole dancing

My primary school was very traditional and every year the biggest event was the May day celebration which took part in front of family and friends.
We all learnt to maypole dance during the term and every class got a 'go' to dance around the may pole at the big event .We had a may queen and attendants and a page boy and everything. I was lucky enough to be a may queen attendant one year and my brother the page boy, funnily enough in 1977 the Queens silver jubilee. Traditionally we wore just white but for the jubilee our parents could decorate our dresses with some red and blue ric rac or ribbon !

At the weekend these children were dancing around the maypole and it brought back really happy memories.
