The weather has been kind so far for the Dawlish Carnival. On Sunday the opening was blessed with good weather. The programme of events began with the arrival of the Queen and her attendants travelling in the carnival float.
The parade this year was led by Peter Cross our very own Mr England who is the English Rugby Team mascot The afternoon's entertainment was started by The Red Sparrows who do a spoof of the Red Arrows and the air battle with the Red Baron and Snoopy.
The fabulous Wakefield Majorettes gave another of their wonderful displays plus the Junior Field gunner teams. The Annual Carnival Songs of Praise evening was held in the marquee to end a very pleasant day
Tuesday saw the line up of the Senior Pram Race fancy dress. There was a large number of entrants it was good to see the effort put into this event
On a more sober note we see more bodies of our soldiers killed in Afghanistan. More heartbreak for families of fathers sons and brothers our thoughts and prayers go out to them. It is good to see they are being honoured by the special Elizabeth medal and we hope the families and the wounded soldiers that we hear so little about will have the help and support they need and deserve
