Every year the Kingston village fair sees the appointment of our very own royal family. The tradition appears to go back at least to 1977 when, to mark the late Queen’s Silver Jubilee, a ‘queen’ and two ‘princesses’ were chosen from amongst the village’s children. From 1991 to 1998 the practice was revived along the same lines, then in 1999 the royal family was extended to include a king, queen as well as a prince and princess. The names of all the children who took on these roles in the past has never been properly recorded… until now. Dawn Neil has uncovered a photograph of the final missing royals from 2014.
If anyone knows of any other years before those listed above Karen Freeman would be most interested.
