IT’S little over a month away and the ‘royalty’ for this summer’s Leighton-Linslade Carnival has been chosen.
The Queen for the July 14 showpiece is Margaret Tyas. Margaret was Carnival Queen in 1962, the first of the “modern” carnivals.
A carnival committee spokesman said: “We are very pleased that she has agreed to take on the role of Queen again in this special year when we are celebrating the life of our town and community during the 60 years of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II.”
Joining Margaret are the two princesses chosen at the selection disco, hosted by Brooklands Club last month. They are Zahra Naji, who attends Brooklands School, and Katherine Reilly, who attends Gilbert Inglefield School.
