At the end of September 2003, the 150th anniversary of the Great Camp was the
focus of our third anniversary celebrations. It was a great success; see
the picture story below.
 |
|
In beautiful weather, and after a long hot summer, the
scene was reminiscent of a French village fete. |
 |
|
'Queen Victoria', riding side saddle, flanked by her
loyal old soldiers parades down the High Street. |
| |
| |
 |
|
Upon her arrival at Benham's Corner, children of St
Lawrence School, led by 'headmistress' Diana Linfoot, entertain the
Queen. |
| |
| |
 |
| |
 |
|
"Is she REALLY the Queen?" |
 |
| |
 |
|
A poor woman of the village tells the story of
Chobham's cannon to the children and the Queen. |
 |
|
Several hundred visitors packed the museum during the
afternoon. |
 |
|
Even when most visitors had long gone, children stayed
on - fascinated by the traditional games. |
