Description

This photograph, sent to us by Sandy Norman, is of a class of children from South Park Junior School, Reigate. The class did a project on King Ethelred and Queen Bertha, and was involved in a pageant or parade. This was probably the Borough of Reigate Pageant, staged to mark the coronation of Elizabeth I: http://www.historicalpageants.ac.uk/pageants/1170/

The location of the photograph, and the pageant, was Reigate Priory.
