Thank you, Kev! Very interesting! My mother was a sweet pea in a pageant of Liverpool school children at the time of the opening of Mersey Tunnel with King George and Queen Mary in 1934 . . . there should be books or films about that too.

Yes, I've heard the older generation talking about this event. Some of them took part as 'flowers' - different types and colours.
