Ledbury Carnival 2003 : Country Carnival
Before the Madness (High Street)!
Ledbury Carnival 2003 took place on Monday 25 August 2003. The 2003 event was the 29th Ledbury Carnival. The 2004 will be it's 30th. The theme was The Countryside. I have used my new digital camera so I took more photos than I intended to, over 200 photos again. As in 2002, I was at 3 locations during the carnival procession. Ledbury Rugby Ground at 11:15, Outside of the Clock tower where the High Street, Bye Street and the Homend meets at around 12:15, 13:00 at Ledbury Primary School. The weather was a big cloudy but it is one of the biggest I have seen. An estimated 10,000 people turned up. This year, we had a running commentary by Hereford Hospital Radio when the float went past the town.
Here are some of the scenes of the morning.
