Description

From left to right: The producer of the pageant, Christopher Ede; Janet Downton; the Mayor of Bury St Edmunds, FG Banks; and the author of the script, Richard Tydeman. Janet remembers: "I was 4 years old and was apparently the youngest person in the pageant apart from a baby. My mother Mrs Maureen Lewis had some involvement with the costumes and I was dressed as a peasant girl. [The photo is] of me presenting a picture to the mayor. I think it was a drawing of the abbey gate. "
