EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this enchanting print captured by the talented photographer Jonathan Barker, we are transported back to the summer of 1992 in the picturesque town of Fowey, Cornwall. The image showcases the radiant Carnival Queen, Nicky Marsh, resplendent in her regal attire alongside her graceful attendants Vicky Canavan and Kelly Farley. This moment unfolded on a memorable day during Fowey Regatta Week when Nicky was crowned amidst the splendid grounds of Fowey Hall. Adorned with flower posies and wearing elegant tiaras and sashes that symbolize their esteemed roles, these young women exude grace and charm. Following the coronation ceremony at Fowey Hall, an enthralling tableau led by a tractor pulled carriage set off through the charming streets of this Cornish town. Accompanied by joyful music and dancing locals adorned with vibrant bouquets celebrating their rich heritage, it was truly a sight to behold. This photograph encapsulates not only a cherished tradition but also serves as a testament to community spirit and pride. It is an ode to Cornwall's unique culture where age-old customs intertwine seamlessly with modern celebrations. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection for posterity, this remarkable snapshot offers us a glimpse into history while reminding us of the enduring beauty found in our traditions.
