-Every picture tells a story. What's

-the story behind these pictures?

0:00:020:00:07

-Will it be possible to organise

-a reunion to retake the picture?

0:00:080:00:12

-Today, the carnival queen's float,

-Bethesda Carnival 1980.

0:00:140:00:18

-Where did they all go?

0:00:190:00:21

0:00:360:00:38

-They say that 40 is the new 30.

0:00:430:00:45

-Wow!

0:00:470:00:48

-In Bethesda, it's a very

-important day for Amanda Jones.

0:00:480:00:52

-I'm skint now.

0:00:520:00:54

-Ooh!

0:00:560:00:57

-It came off in my hand!

0:00:570:00:58

-It came off in my hand!

-

-Happy birthday.

0:00:580:01:00

-A crew of us recently...

0:01:000:01:02

-..have celebrated 40th birthdays.

0:01:030:01:05

-Some have had parties. I don't know

-yet how I'll celebrate my birthday.

0:01:060:01:11

-Let me take a photo of you.

0:01:110:01:14

-28 years ago, Amanda was being

-photographed for another reason.

0:01:170:01:21

-On this very spot, Amanda was a

-flower girl on the queen's float...

0:01:220:01:27

-..in the Bethesda Carnival.

0:01:270:01:29

-Standing here,

-it's coming back to me.

0:01:300:01:34

-It was a special time.

0:01:340:01:36

-It was the first carnival

-in Bethesda for many years.

0:01:360:01:40

-It was important for the community.

0:01:410:01:44

-I remember the float

-going up the street.

0:01:490:01:52

-It was very exciting!

0:01:540:01:56

-There were loads of people

-along the pavements...

0:01:560:02:00

-..especially outside the pubs.

0:02:000:02:02

-The morning of the carnival, I got

-up early because I was so excited.

0:02:050:02:10

-I probably hadn't slept much!

0:02:100:02:13

-I wore an Alice band

-trimmed with flowers.

0:02:130:02:17

-We all thought we were

-grand in the dresses.

0:02:170:02:21

-The site has changed

-since the photo was taken.

0:02:260:02:29

-But have the people in the photo

-changed and where are they now?

0:02:290:02:33

-It'd be nice to see

-everyone in the photo.

0:02:340:02:37

-I haven't seen many

-of the girls for years.

0:02:370:02:40

-The photo is nearly 30 years old.

0:02:410:02:43

-It'd be nice to find them.

0:02:430:02:45

-I've got an idea

-where some of them work...

0:02:470:02:52

-..and where some of them live.

0:02:520:02:54

-We'll start off with one.

0:02:540:02:57

-I hope Jenny will

-give me a hand, actually.

0:02:580:03:01

-Hiya, Jenny, are you OK?

0:03:070:03:08

-Hiya, Jenny, are you OK?

-

-Are you OK, Amanda?

0:03:080:03:10

-This is Jenny.

-She hasn't moved very far.

0:03:110:03:14

-She has always lived in Bethesda.

0:03:150:03:17

-They meet occasionally.

0:03:170:03:19

-On the float, everyone had a role.

0:03:210:03:23

-Some were more

-important than others!

0:03:230:03:26

-Looking at the photo,

-we were flower girls, weren't we?

0:03:270:03:31

-The next step up were attendants.

0:03:310:03:33

-The next step up were attendants.

-

-Yes.

0:03:330:03:34

-Would you have liked to be queen?

0:03:340:03:36

-Would you have liked to be queen?

-

-Yes, I would!

0:03:360:03:38

-My sister got to be queen the

-next year. There was quite a fuss!

0:03:390:03:43

-I sulked for ages

-and wouldn't leave my room.

0:03:440:03:48

-Mam came home and said my sister,

-Julie, would be the second queen.

0:03:480:03:52

-The year after?

0:03:520:03:52

-The year after?

-

-Yes.

0:03:520:03:53

-So you sulked?

0:03:540:03:55

-So you sulked?

-

-Yes!

0:03:550:03:56

-I knew she'd get lots of gifts.

0:03:570:03:59

-People queued up on stage

-with gifts for the queen!

0:03:590:04:02

-So they did.

-There's nothing like that now.

0:04:020:04:06

-It'd be nice, wouldn't it?

0:04:060:04:07

-It'd be nice, wouldn't it?

-

-Yes.

0:04:070:04:08

-I'd never leave. Would you?

0:04:090:04:11

-If I was young again, perhaps.

0:04:110:04:12

-If I was young again, perhaps.

-

-You would?

0:04:120:04:13

-Yes.

0:04:130:04:14

-Amanda has got help for her search.

0:04:150:04:17

-She doesn't have far to go

-because many still live in the area.

0:04:170:04:22

-But one person went over the

-mountain from the Ogwen Valley...

0:04:230:04:27

-..to Dyffryn Peris.

0:04:270:04:28

-What is the queen's page boy,

-this upright lad, doing now?

0:04:290:04:34

-I've heard that Huw is a policeman.

0:04:340:04:37

-He works in Llanberis.

0:04:390:04:41

-I don't think I'd recognise him now.

0:04:420:04:45

-It's so many years since I saw him.

0:04:450:04:49

-I'm looking for a man

-in a police uniform.

0:04:500:04:54

-Ah!

0:04:550:04:56

-Huw!

0:04:570:04:57

-Huw!

-

-Hiya.

0:04:570:04:58

-You OK?

0:04:590:04:59

-You OK?

-

-Yes.

0:04:590:05:00

-God, you've changed so much!

0:05:020:05:04

-You're tall.

0:05:050:05:06

-You're tall.

-

-I know.

0:05:060:05:07

-Blinkin' Norah! And you're

-standing like in the photo!

0:05:070:05:10

-You OK?

0:05:100:05:10

-You OK?

-

-Yes. You?

0:05:100:05:11

-Not bad.

0:05:120:05:13

-You've changed so much!

0:05:130:05:15

-You've changed so much!

-

-I've grown a bit.

0:05:150:05:17

-But he hasn't always been a bobby.

0:05:170:05:19

-I left Ysgol Dyffryn Ogwen

-when I was 16.

0:05:190:05:23

-I went to Gwynedd Technical College

-as it was then called.

0:05:230:05:26

-I got a short term job

-at the Safeway shop in Bangor.

0:05:260:05:30

-It was supposed to be temporary.

0:05:310:05:33

-But I stayed there for 11 years!

0:05:350:05:37

-I always wanted to be a constable.

0:05:380:05:40

-I was lucky enough to join

-the police force in 2001.

0:05:400:05:45

-If we got everyone together...

0:05:450:05:47

-..would you come back

-to take the photo again?

0:05:470:05:51

-If I'm not working, definitely.

0:05:520:05:54

-If I'm not working, definitely.

-

-OK.

0:05:540:05:55

-No problem.

0:05:550:05:55

-No problem.

-

-Fantastic.

0:05:550:05:56

-OK.

0:05:570:05:58

-Thanks, nice to meet you again.

-See you soon.

0:05:580:06:02

-You too. Ta-ra.

0:06:020:06:04

-Ann, Huw's sister,

-is also in the photo.

0:06:050:06:09

-She was an attendant on the float.

-She's come back to Bethesda...

0:06:090:06:13

-..after living for seven years

-the other side of the world.

0:06:130:06:17

-In 1995, I moved

-to live in New Zealand.

0:06:170:06:21

-I got married and had Sioned.

0:06:210:06:23

-Things didn't work out, so I came

-back to Bethesda with Sioned.

0:06:250:06:29

-There's something about

-Bethesda that draws you back.

0:06:300:06:33

-I don't know what it is.

0:06:340:06:36

-My roots are very deep here.

0:06:370:06:39

-I couldn't settle in New Zealand.

0:06:390:06:41

-Everyone knows each other here.

0:06:410:06:43

-I don't know what it is about

-Bethesda. It draws people back.

0:06:440:06:48

-Ann and her brother, the policeman,

-are coming to the reunion.

0:06:480:06:52

-But what about this little girl,

-dressed up as a boy?

0:06:520:06:56

-In the village, there's a big match.

0:06:580:07:00

-There's nothing more important

-than rugby on Saturdays.

0:07:010:07:05

-Sarah and Jenny never miss a game.

0:07:050:07:08

-Hello, Sarah.

0:07:100:07:11

-Hello, Sarah.

-

-Hello, Jen.

0:07:110:07:12

-I thought I'd find you here.

0:07:120:07:13

-I thought I'd find you here.

-

-Of course!

0:07:130:07:14

-Sarah works in the village surgery.

0:07:140:07:16

-Guess what I've got here.

0:07:170:07:17

-Guess what I've got here.

-

-What have you got there, Jen?

0:07:170:07:19

-Remember this photo?

0:07:190:07:20

-Remember this photo?

-

-Oh, my god!

0:07:200:07:21

-What a sight.

0:07:220:07:23

-What a sight.

-

-Weren't you pretty?

0:07:230:07:24

-Gorgeous, as ever.

0:07:240:07:26

-It was a lot of fun.

-What do you remember about the day?

0:07:260:07:30

-We had to practise.

0:07:300:07:33

-I didn't want to be an attendant

-and wear a flowery dress!

0:07:330:07:37

-You were very important.

0:07:380:07:39

-You were very important.

-

-No way would I wear a flowery dress.

0:07:390:07:41

-So I was a boy!

0:07:410:07:42

-No-one has moved from the village.

0:07:430:07:46

-Apart from Lynne and Darren,

-or Ioncyn as we call him.

0:07:460:07:50

-Ann went to New Zealand for a while.

0:07:510:07:53

-Ann went to New Zealand for a while.

-

-Yes. Melanie has left too.

0:07:530:07:55

-She's in Liverpool, isn't she?

0:07:550:07:57

-Ooh, it's exciting,

-Pesda are going for a try.

0:07:580:08:03

-We'll be asked what happened

-but we're chatting about the photo.

0:08:030:08:07

-The carnival photo.

0:08:070:08:09

-Another try!

0:08:100:08:12

-So, if there's no rugby match,

-Sarah will be there.

0:08:120:08:16

-But before Amanda continues

-with the search, she goes to work.

0:08:170:08:21

-She's a community psychiatric nurse,

-working with drugs, a new job...

0:08:210:08:25

-..since she graduated last year.

0:08:250:08:27

-For the first months in college...

0:08:270:08:29

-..I don't think I knew

-what I was doing, frankly.

0:08:300:08:33

-Things like looking for books

-and writing essays. I cried a lot.

0:08:330:08:37

-And I was bringing up Katy.

0:08:380:08:40

-Dad was ill at the time.

0:08:400:08:42

-It was a proud day when I graduated.

0:08:430:08:45

-Hiya, Steve.

0:08:480:08:49

-Hiya, Steve.

-

-Hi, you OK?

0:08:490:08:50

-Yes, you?

0:08:500:08:51

-Yes, you?

-

-Not too bad.

0:08:510:08:52

-When I started the job, I thought...

0:08:520:08:54

-.."Great, I'll try to stop people

-taking heroin." That's not my job.

0:08:550:09:00

-Hello, Substance Abuse Service.

0:09:010:09:03

-It's more to do with trying

-to reduce risk. It's harm reduction.

0:09:030:09:07

-To make sure they get clean needles.

0:09:070:09:09

-There's a lot of needle exchange,

-which is a very good thing.

0:09:090:09:13

-Hiya, you OK?

0:09:140:09:14

-Hiya, you OK?

-

-Yes.

0:09:140:09:15

-How are you keeping?

0:09:160:09:18

-Like community nurses,

-we're a small part of their lives.

0:09:180:09:23

-Because we're not judgmental

-when we do our work...

0:09:240:09:28

-..that earns respect.

0:09:280:09:30

-It's a fantastic job.

0:09:310:09:33

-It might help...

0:09:330:09:35

-..to work on what makes you

-go back to using, perhaps.

0:09:350:09:39

-The search continues.

0:09:400:09:41

-This young attendant lives

-in woodland near Bethesda.

0:09:410:09:45

-I see Fiona around.

0:09:480:09:50

-Our daughters go to dancing

-lessons, that sort of thing.

0:09:500:09:54

-But I haven't been here before.

0:09:540:09:56

-She'll get quite a surprise

-to see me knocking at her door.

0:09:560:10:00

-KNOCKS AT DOOR

0:10:020:10:04

-Hello, Fiona!

0:10:060:10:07

-Hello, Fiona!

-

-How are you?

0:10:070:10:08

-This is Fiona.

0:10:100:10:11

-We thought we were important!

0:10:120:10:13

-We thought we were important!

-

-Yes.

0:10:130:10:14

-Everyone waved at us

-on the street, standing in rows.

0:10:140:10:17

-So you're married

-with three children.

0:10:180:10:21

-Yes, the youngest, Swyn, is 3.

-Iestyn is 5 and Gwenllian is 8.

0:10:210:10:25

-So they're all quite close.

0:10:260:10:28

-Can you see Mam, Swyn?

0:10:290:10:31

-Clever girl!

0:10:320:10:34

-So another attendant

-is ready to go on the float.

0:10:360:10:38

-But to recreate that,

-there's some work to do.

0:10:380:10:41

-Who better than

-the original committee to help?

0:10:420:10:44

-The mothers are at the house

-of Queen Lynne's mother, Hilda.

0:10:450:10:50

-It's fun to reminisce.

0:10:500:10:52

-We were at the Douglas

-Arms, Bethesda.

0:10:530:10:56

-We chatted about the happy times

-we had as children in the carnival.

0:10:560:11:00

-There was nothing for the kids at

-that time, no youth clubs, nothing.

0:11:010:11:04

-We got together,

-and that's how it started.

0:11:050:11:07

-We had a lot of fun

-and we all worked hard.

0:11:070:11:12

-I've been looking. Come to help me.

0:11:130:11:16

-You've still got them?

0:11:160:11:17

-You've still got them?

-

-I've got a few things.

0:11:170:11:18

-I've got a few things.

0:11:180:11:19

-They're as good as new!

0:11:200:11:22

-In no time, they find a few

-important items for the new float.

0:11:230:11:26

-Guess what this is.

0:11:270:11:28

-Guess what this is.

-

-It looks like a toilet thingy.

0:11:280:11:30

-You're right.

0:11:300:11:31

-You're right.

-

-Oh!

0:11:310:11:33

-That chair was on stage

-and on the lorry.

0:11:360:11:39

-This one?

0:11:390:11:40

-This one?

-

-Yes.

0:11:400:11:41

-At last, Jenny's dream of being

-crowned queen is realised.

0:11:410:11:45

-I was cross that my sister

-had been chosen, not me.

0:11:450:11:49

-You're queen for today.

0:11:490:11:51

-It doesn't fit.

0:11:510:11:52

-It doesn't fit.

-

-No.

0:11:520:11:53

-Your head's too big!

0:11:540:11:55

-Your head's too big!

-

-Keep still.

0:11:550:11:56

-But there's more searching to do.

0:11:560:11:58

-Who arrives in style?

0:11:590:12:01

-What has happened

-to this red-headed girl?

0:12:020:12:05

-And who is this,

-living like a queen in London?

0:12:060:12:09

-.

0:12:090:12:10

0:12:140:12:16

-This photo of the 1980

-Bethesda Carnival...

0:12:230:12:26

-..has motivated Amanda

-to look for the people in it.

0:12:260:12:30

-With the help of close friend Jenny,

-she's found most of the crew...

0:12:300:12:35

-..and a few regal treasures

-that are essential for the photo.

0:12:360:12:40

-Most of the crew

-still live locally.

0:12:450:12:47

-Amanda knows that this girl has been

-working in a Caernarfon bank...

0:12:480:12:52

-..since leaving school.

0:12:520:12:53

-Hiya, Diane, you OK?

0:12:540:12:55

-LAUGHTER

0:12:560:12:57

-How are you?

0:12:570:12:58

-How are you?

-

-What are you doing here?

0:12:580:13:00

-I've found a photo.

0:13:000:13:01

-I've found a photo.

-

-Right.

0:13:010:13:02

-You're in it.

-Do you remember anything about it?

0:13:030:13:07

-I do!

0:13:070:13:08

-This is Diane.

0:13:100:13:11

-It was the first carnival.

0:13:110:13:13

-There hadn't been a carnival

-in the village for years.

0:13:140:13:19

-I remember the excitement,

-the band and the majorettes.

0:13:200:13:24

-It brought the community together.

0:13:250:13:27

-It's a pity it's not held any more.

0:13:280:13:30

-I remember you with your gloves.

0:13:330:13:35

-It tickled me!

0:13:350:13:36

-What did I do with them?

0:13:370:13:38

-What did I do with them?

-

-You went like this with them.

0:13:380:13:40

-I wasn't used to wearing gloves.

0:13:400:13:42

-Only the attendants wore them.

0:13:420:13:44

-Yes.

0:13:450:13:46

-The attendants had bands too.

0:13:470:13:49

-You had flowers

-because you were flower girls.

0:13:500:13:53

-Would you be game

-to coming to a reunion?

0:13:540:13:57

-It'd be great!

-Especially now we're all 40.

0:13:570:14:02

-No need to mention that, Diane!

0:14:030:14:05

-It would be a good time...

0:14:060:14:09

-..to arrange a reunion.

0:14:090:14:12

-It would be brilliant.

0:14:140:14:14

-It would be brilliant.

-

-You're game?

0:14:140:14:15

-Yes.

0:14:150:14:16

-Now Diane has agreed,

-the reunion is falling into place.

0:14:170:14:21

-In the meantime, living

-in the big city far from Bethesda...

0:14:220:14:26

-..is one of

-the float's main characters.

0:14:260:14:29

-The message has reached Queen Lynne.

0:14:290:14:31

-Hello... Jenny!

0:14:320:14:33

-Lynne works for

-a famous cosmetic company.

0:14:340:14:37

-This is the Elizabeth Arden HQ...

0:14:370:14:39

-..in the heart of London,

-where I've worked for 15 years.

0:14:400:14:45

-Part of my work is to teach

-the Elizabeth Arden saleswomen...

0:14:450:14:49

-..in the shops

-about all the products.

0:14:490:14:53

-My first job was

-in Plas Menai, Port Dinorwig.

0:14:540:14:58

-I met my husband, Andy, there.

0:14:580:15:00

-We moved to Essex.

0:15:000:15:02

-We lived there for almost 20 years.

0:15:040:15:06

-We've just moved here

-this year, to Hampshire.

0:15:060:15:10

-Elliott, Sam!

0:15:100:15:11

-What was it like

-to be a queen for a day?

0:15:120:15:15

-The night I found out

-I'd been chosen to be queen...

0:15:150:15:19

-..I was over the moon.

0:15:190:15:21

-On the day, we decorated the float

-outside the house.

0:15:210:15:25

-We went down Bethesda's main street.

-I remember the crowds.

0:15:250:15:31

-I'll never forget seeing

-so many people along the street.

0:15:310:15:35

-Another member of Lynne's family

-helped behind the scenes...

0:15:380:15:42

-..driving the lorry -

-her big brother, Paul.

0:15:420:15:46

-He worked hard for the carnival

-and in the following years.

0:15:470:15:51

-He drove the float.

0:15:520:15:54

-For Lynne, remembering the carnival

-brings back mixed emotions.

0:15:550:16:00

-Paul died ten years later

-in a motorcycling accident.

0:16:010:16:05

-It was a very sad time, of course...

0:16:060:16:08

-..for me, Mam and all the family.

0:16:080:16:11

-It wasn't so easy

-to look back at the carnival...

0:16:120:16:17

-..and feel happy about it.

0:16:180:16:20

-We go to the cemetery

-every time we go home.

0:16:220:16:26

-But seeing old faces

-will lift the heart of this queen.

0:16:270:16:31

-I can't wait to see everyone.

0:16:320:16:34

-Diane, of course,

-we're great friends - and Jenny.

0:16:340:16:39

-Sarah, of course - the escort.

0:16:390:16:41

-I've heard that Huw is very tall.

-He was only little at the time.

0:16:420:16:46

-I'm looking forward

-to seeing everyone.

0:16:470:16:49

-So the queen is returning

-to the scene of her coronation.

0:16:500:16:54

-The big day is here.

0:16:550:16:57

-This plumber from Cardiff

-has left his work for a few hours...

0:16:570:17:01

-..to take part in the fun.

0:17:010:17:03

-This is Darren.

0:17:030:17:04

-He has hardly seen

-the others since the carnival.

0:17:060:17:09

-Will they recognise him?

0:17:100:17:11

-Melanie has had a long journey too.

0:17:130:17:16

-This is Molly.

0:17:170:17:19

-We've come from Ormskirk,

-100 miles away, to the cold!

0:17:190:17:24

-But a warm welcome awaits Melanie -

-it's more than a carnival reunion.

0:17:250:17:30

-Today's an exciting day.

-I hope to see everyone.

0:17:300:17:35

-And to see the family,

-I haven't been here for months.

0:17:350:17:39

-I've been very busy.

0:17:390:17:41

-So it's nice to come here

-and see everyone.

0:17:410:17:44

-You remember all the flowers?

0:17:450:17:48

-It took us days, weeks,

-to make the flowers.

0:17:480:17:52

-We had to decorate the float.

0:17:520:17:54

-Oh, my lord!

0:17:560:17:58

-I remember getting on the float

-on the Saturday morning.

0:18:000:18:04

-There's no float

-this afternoon, is there?

0:18:040:18:07

-No!

0:18:080:18:09

-Although the float was

-the centrepiece on the day...

0:18:120:18:15

-..the night before, the coronation

-ceremony filled the school hall.

0:18:150:18:20

-Amanda was nervous 30 years ago.

0:18:200:18:23

-And she's nervous again today,

-for a different reason.

0:18:230:18:27

-The stage looks small now

-compared to when I was younger.

0:18:270:18:31

-It looked massive.

0:18:310:18:34

-The hall was full.

0:18:350:18:37

-I'm excited! I'm looking

-forward to seeing everyone.

0:18:410:18:45

-But who in particular?

-She's used to seeing these two.

0:18:450:18:49

-Melanie. I haven't seen her.

0:18:500:18:52

-Melanie. I haven't seen her.

-

-Me neither.

0:18:520:18:53

-Nor the lads.

0:18:540:18:55

-I don't think I'll recognise Darren.

0:18:550:18:57

-On cue, here he is!

0:18:580:19:00

-Darren!

0:19:000:19:01

-Don't hide under the chairs today!

0:19:020:19:03

-We always had to look

-for Darren under the chairs.

0:19:040:19:08

-I don't think

-you wanted to be in it at all!

0:19:080:19:11

-No!

0:19:110:19:12

-Everyone starts to arrive,

-some from near, some from afar.

0:19:130:19:16

-Darren?

0:19:170:19:17

-Darren?

-

-Yes.

0:19:170:19:18

-Goodness! You haven't grown a lot!

0:19:180:19:20

-Diane hasn't lost her humour.

0:19:220:19:24

-But does she remember Melanie?

0:19:240:19:26

-Oh! Are you OK?

0:19:270:19:29

-Oh, god! How are you?

0:19:310:19:33

-I haven't seen you for years!

0:19:330:19:35

-It's emotional!

0:19:350:19:37

-And who's this?

0:19:380:19:40

-This is Karen. The Bethesda girl

-still remembers everyone.

0:19:400:19:44

-I can say who everyone is.

-Everyone still has the same smile.

0:19:440:19:48

-The moment they arrived,

-I knew them.

0:19:480:19:51

-You'll be 40 next year, Karen?

0:19:510:19:52

-You'll be 40 next year, Karen?

-

-Yes.

0:19:520:19:53

-Thanks a lot!

0:19:540:19:55

-I had a tattoo.

0:19:560:19:58

-Look!

0:19:580:19:59

-I has such a crisis,

-I didn't want to be 40 at all.

0:19:590:20:03

-They say it's the new 30!

0:20:040:20:05

-They say it's the new 30!

-

-Yes!

0:20:050:20:07

-It makes you realise how quickly

-time passes. It's almost 30 years.

0:20:070:20:12

-Ann and her young brother,

-Huw the policeman, have arrived.

0:20:120:20:16

-He looked good in uniform!

0:20:160:20:18

-He looked good in uniform!

-

-Did he?

0:20:180:20:19

-And here's Queen Lynne

-to crown the event.

0:20:210:20:23

-Hiya, Lynne, you OK?

0:20:240:20:26

-It's nice to see you.

0:20:260:20:29

-You haven't changed at all, Lynne.

0:20:290:20:30

-You haven't changed at all, Lynne.

-

-No!

0:20:300:20:31

-The dress would still fit you.

0:20:310:20:33

-The dress would still fit you.

-

-No - I've tried!

0:20:330:20:36

-Lads, come on.

0:20:390:20:40

-There's one more thing to do.

0:20:410:20:43

-You can't be attendants or page boys

-without the right costumes.

0:20:440:20:48

-Cute!

0:20:480:20:49

-Cute!

-

-Hope I don't drop the crown.

0:20:490:20:51

-You can't crown a queen

-without a mistress of ceremonies.

0:20:510:20:54

-Maureen Rhys crowned Lynne.

-There's a surprise for the crew.

0:20:550:20:59

-28 years later!

0:20:590:21:01

-SCREAMS

0:21:010:21:02

-Ready?

0:21:080:21:09

-ALL CHEER AND APPLAUD

0:21:120:21:14

-The coronation of the queen

-was the climax in every carnival.

0:21:140:21:18

-It wass the most important

-event in the carnival.

0:21:190:21:23

-That was the poshest float,

-the most expensive.

0:21:230:21:27

-Everything climaxed

-with the coronation of the queen.

0:21:280:21:32

-SCREAMS

0:21:340:21:36

-The float is in the same place...

0:21:360:21:38

-..decorated with

-the original material.

0:21:380:21:41

-No-one's helping you, Jenny!

0:21:420:21:44

-The background has changed,

-the people have changed.

0:21:440:21:47

-Of course, the old

-carnival committee is here...

0:21:480:21:51

-..to keep an eye on things.

0:21:510:21:53

-You haven't altered in 28 years.

0:21:530:21:56

-Still sweet and innocent.

0:21:570:21:58

-Margaret, Diane's mother,

-was the photographer on the day.

0:21:580:22:02

-She's going to take the photo again.

0:22:020:22:05

-Girls, can you tidy your shawls?

0:22:050:22:08

-Huw, put your hands at your sides.

0:22:130:22:15

-It was a good day,

-it was nice to see everyone again.

0:22:150:22:18

-We're all older and a little fatter.

0:22:190:22:22

-It was a happy time,

-so it brought back the happy days.

0:22:230:22:27

-That's great.

-The sun's shining on everything.

0:22:280:22:31

-The big moment has arrived.

0:22:320:22:35

-Some have come from afar.

-Many stayed in Bethesda.

0:22:360:22:40

-But for one moment...

0:22:410:22:43

-..the Bethesda Carnival

-crew are back together.

0:22:440:22:46

-Good. Is everyone

-looking at the camera?

0:22:470:22:50

-Great!

0:22:510:22:53

-It's been great fun.

-Everyone enjoyed themselves.

0:22:590:23:03

-We didn't expect it

-to be half as much fun.

0:23:030:23:06

-The emotion I felt was happiness.

0:23:070:23:09

-I didn't want to cry.

-I was glad to see everyone.

0:23:090:23:12

-Marvellous.

-I'm glad I was part of it.

0:23:130:23:16

-It would be nice to bring

-the carnival back to Bethesda...

0:23:180:23:22

-...something for the community

-and the children.

0:23:220:23:26

-Everyone enjoyed themselves.

-We could still feel the excitement.

0:23:310:23:35

-We've spent an afternoon together.

0:23:360:23:38

-Everyone has a memory that

-helps to bring the picture back.
