-28 years ago, Amanda was being -photographed for another reason. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |
-On this very spot, Amanda was a -flower girl on the queen's float... | 0:01:22 | 0:01:27 | |
-..in the Bethesda Carnival. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
-Standing here, -it's coming back to me. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:34 | |
-It was a special time. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
-It was the first carnival -in Bethesda for many years. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:40 | |
-It was important for the community. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
-I remember the float -going up the street. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
-It was very exciting! | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
-There were loads of people -along the pavements... | 0:01:56 | 0:02:00 | |
-..especially outside the pubs. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
-The morning of the carnival, I got -up early because I was so excited. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:10 | |
-I probably hadn't slept much! | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
-I wore an Alice band -trimmed with flowers. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
-We all thought we were -grand in the dresses. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:21 | |
-The site has changed -since the photo was taken. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
-But have the people in the photo -changed and where are they now? | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
-It'd be nice to see -everyone in the photo. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
-I haven't seen many -of the girls for years. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
-The photo is nearly 30 years old. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
-It'd be nice to find them. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
-I've got an idea -where some of them work... | 0:02:47 | 0:02:52 | |
-..and where some of them live. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
-We'll start off with one. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
-I hope Jenny will -give me a hand, actually. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
-Hiya, Jenny, are you OK? | 0:03:07 | 0:03:08 | |
-Hiya, Jenny, are you OK? - -Are you OK, Amanda? | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
-This is Jenny. -She hasn't moved very far. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
-She has always lived in Bethesda. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
-They meet occasionally. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
-On the float, everyone had a role. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
-Some were more -important than others! | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
-Looking at the photo, -we were flower girls, weren't we? | 0:03:27 | 0:03:31 | |
-The next step up were attendants. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
-The next step up were attendants. - -Yes. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:34 | |
-Would you have liked to be queen? | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
-Would you have liked to be queen? - -Yes, I would! | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
-My sister got to be queen the -next year. There was quite a fuss! | 0:03:39 | 0:03:43 | |
-I sulked for ages -and wouldn't leave my room. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:48 | |
-Mam came home and said my sister, -Julie, would be the second queen. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:52 | |
-The year after? | 0:03:52 | 0:03:52 | |
-The year after? - -Yes. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:53 | |
-So you sulked? | 0:03:54 | 0:03:55 | |
-So you sulked? - -Yes! | 0:03:55 | 0:03:56 | |
-I knew she'd get lots of gifts. | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
-People queued up on stage -with gifts for the queen! | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
-So they did. -There's nothing like that now. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:06 | |
-It'd be nice, wouldn't it? | 0:04:06 | 0:04:07 | |
-It'd be nice, wouldn't it? - -Yes. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:08 | |
-I'd never leave. Would you? | 0:04:09 | 0:04:11 | |
-If I was young again, perhaps. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:12 | |
-If I was young again, perhaps. - -You would? | 0:04:12 | 0:04:13 | |
-Yes. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:14 | |
-Amanda has got help for her search. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
-She doesn't have far to go -because many still live in the area. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:22 | |
-But one person went over the -mountain from the Ogwen Valley... | 0:04:23 | 0:04:27 | |
-..to Dyffryn Peris. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:28 | |
-What is the queen's page boy, -this upright lad, doing now? | 0:04:29 | 0:04:34 | |
-I've heard that Huw is a policeman. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
-He works in Llanberis. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
-I don't think I'd recognise him now. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
-It's so many years since I saw him. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:49 | |
-I'm looking for a man -in a police uniform. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:54 | |
-Ah! | 0:04:55 | 0:04:56 | |
-Huw! | 0:04:57 | 0:04:57 | |
-Huw! - -Hiya. | 0:04:57 | 0:04:58 | |
-You OK? | 0:04:59 | 0:04:59 | |
-You OK? - -Yes. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:00 | |
-God, you've changed so much! | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
-You're tall. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:06 | |
-You're tall. - -I know. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:07 | |
-Blinkin' Norah! And you're -standing like in the photo! | 0:05:07 | 0:05:10 | |
-You OK? | 0:05:10 | 0:05:10 | |
-You OK? - -Yes. You? | 0:05:10 | 0:05:11 | |
-Not bad. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:13 | |
-You've changed so much! | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
-You've changed so much! - -I've grown a bit. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:17 | |
-But he hasn't always been a bobby. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
-I left Ysgol Dyffryn Ogwen -when I was 16. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:23 | |
-I went to Gwynedd Technical College -as it was then called. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
-I got a short term job -at the Safeway shop in Bangor. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:30 | |
-It was supposed to be temporary. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:33 | |
-But I stayed there for 11 years! | 0:05:35 | 0:05:37 | |
-I always wanted to be a constable. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
-I was lucky enough to join -the police force in 2001. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:45 | |
-If we got everyone together... | 0:05:45 | 0:05:47 | |
-..would you come back -to take the photo again? | 0:05:47 | 0:05:51 | |
-If I'm not working, definitely. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
-If I'm not working, definitely. - -OK. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:55 | |
-No problem. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:55 | |
-No problem. - -Fantastic. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:56 | |
-OK. | 0:05:57 | 0:05:58 | |
-Thanks, nice to meet you again. -See you soon. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:02 | |
-You too. Ta-ra. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:04 | |
-Ann, Huw's sister, -is also in the photo. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:09 | |
-She was an attendant on the float. -She's come back to Bethesda... | 0:06:09 | 0:06:13 | |
-..after living for seven years -the other side of the world. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:17 | |
-In 1995, I moved -to live in New Zealand. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:21 | |
-I got married and had Sioned. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:23 | |
-Things didn't work out, so I came -back to Bethesda with Sioned. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:29 | |
-There's something about -Bethesda that draws you back. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
-I don't know what it is. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |
-My roots are very deep here. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:39 | |
-I couldn't settle in New Zealand. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:41 | |
-Everyone knows each other here. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
-I don't know what it is about -Bethesda. It draws people back. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:48 | |
-Ann and her brother, the policeman, -are coming to the reunion. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:52 | |
-But what about this little girl, -dressed up as a boy? | 0:06:52 | 0:06:56 | |
-In the village, there's a big match. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:00 | |
-There's nothing more important -than rugby on Saturdays. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:05 | |
-Sarah and Jenny never miss a game. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
-Hello, Sarah. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:11 | |
-Hello, Sarah. - -Hello, Jen. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:12 | |
-I thought I'd find you here. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:13 | |
-I thought I'd find you here. - -Of course! | 0:07:13 | 0:07:14 | |
-Sarah works in the village surgery. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
-Guess what I've got here. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:17 | |
-Guess what I've got here. - -What have you got there, Jen? | 0:07:17 | 0:07:19 | |
-Remember this photo? | 0:07:19 | 0:07:20 | |
-Remember this photo? - -Oh, my god! | 0:07:20 | 0:07:21 | |
-What a sight. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:23 | |
-What a sight. - -Weren't you pretty? | 0:07:23 | 0:07:24 | |
-Gorgeous, as ever. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:26 | |
-It was a lot of fun. -What do you remember about the day? | 0:07:26 | 0:07:30 | |
-We had to practise. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
-I didn't want to be an attendant -and wear a flowery dress! | 0:07:33 | 0:07:37 | |
-You were very important. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:39 | |
-You were very important. - -No way would I wear a flowery dress. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:41 | |
-So I was a boy! | 0:07:41 | 0:07:42 | |
-No-one has moved from the village. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:46 | |
-Apart from Lynne and Darren, -or Ioncyn as we call him. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:50 | |
-Ann went to New Zealand for a while. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:53 | |
-Ann went to New Zealand for a while. - -Yes. Melanie has left too. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
-She's in Liverpool, isn't she? | 0:07:55 | 0:07:57 | |
-Ooh, it's exciting, -Pesda are going for a try. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:03 | |
-We'll be asked what happened -but we're chatting about the photo. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:07 | |
-The carnival photo. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
-Another try! | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
-So, if there's no rugby match, -Sarah will be there. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:16 | |
-But before Amanda continues -with the search, she goes to work. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:21 | |
-She's a community psychiatric nurse, -working with drugs, a new job... | 0:08:21 | 0:08:25 | |
-..since she graduated last year. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
-For the first months in college... | 0:08:27 | 0:08:29 | |
-..I don't think I knew -what I was doing, frankly. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:33 | |
-Things like looking for books -and writing essays. I cried a lot. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:37 | |
-And I was bringing up Katy. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
-Dad was ill at the time. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
-It was a proud day when I graduated. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:45 | |
-Hiya, Steve. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:49 | |
-Hiya, Steve. - -Hi, you OK? | 0:08:49 | 0:08:50 | |
-Yes, you? | 0:08:50 | 0:08:51 | |
-Yes, you? - -Not too bad. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:52 | |
-When I started the job, I thought... | 0:08:52 | 0:08:54 | |
-.."Great, I'll try to stop people -taking heroin." That's not my job. | 0:08:55 | 0:09:00 | |
-Hello, Substance Abuse Service. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:03 | |
-It's more to do with trying -to reduce risk. It's harm reduction. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:07 | |
-To make sure they get clean needles. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:09 | |
-There's a lot of needle exchange, -which is a very good thing. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:13 | |
-Hiya, you OK? | 0:09:14 | 0:09:14 | |
-Hiya, you OK? - -Yes. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:15 | |
-How are you keeping? | 0:09:16 | 0:09:18 | |
-Like community nurses, -we're a small part of their lives. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:23 | |
-Because we're not judgmental -when we do our work... | 0:09:24 | 0:09:28 | |
-..that earns respect. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:30 | |
-It's a fantastic job. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:33 | |
-It might help... | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |
-..to work on what makes you -go back to using, perhaps. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:39 | |
-The search continues. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:41 | |
-This young attendant lives -in woodland near Bethesda. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:45 | |
-I see Fiona around. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:50 | |
-Our daughters go to dancing -lessons, that sort of thing. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:54 | |
-But I haven't been here before. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
-She'll get quite a surprise -to see me knocking at her door. | 0:09:56 | 0:10:00 | |
-KNOCKS AT DOOR | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
-Hello, Fiona! | 0:10:06 | 0:10:07 | |
-Hello, Fiona! - -How are you? | 0:10:07 | 0:10:08 | |
-This is Fiona. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:11 | |
-We thought we were important! | 0:10:12 | 0:10:13 | |
-We thought we were important! - -Yes. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:14 | |
-Everyone waved at us -on the street, standing in rows. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
-So you're married -with three children. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:21 | |
-Yes, the youngest, Swyn, is 3. -Iestyn is 5 and Gwenllian is 8. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:25 | |
-So they're all quite close. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
-Can you see Mam, Swyn? | 0:10:29 | 0:10:31 | |
-Clever girl! | 0:10:32 | 0:10:34 | |
-So another attendant -is ready to go on the float. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
-But to recreate that, -there's some work to do. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 | |
-Who better than -the original committee to help? | 0:10:42 | 0:10:44 | |
-The mothers are at the house -of Queen Lynne's mother, Hilda. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:50 | |
-It's fun to reminisce. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:52 | |
-We were at the Douglas -Arms, Bethesda. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
-We chatted about the happy times -we had as children in the carnival. | 0:10:56 | 0:11:00 | |
-There was nothing for the kids at -that time, no youth clubs, nothing. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
-We got together, -and that's how it started. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:07 | |
-We had a lot of fun -and we all worked hard. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:12 | |
-I've been looking. Come to help me. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:16 | |
-You've still got them? | 0:11:16 | 0:11:17 | |
-You've still got them? - -I've got a few things. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:18 | |
-I've got a few things. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:19 | |
-They're as good as new! | 0:11:20 | 0:11:22 | |
-In no time, they find a few -important items for the new float. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
-Guess what this is. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:28 | |
-Guess what this is. - -It looks like a toilet thingy. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
-You're right. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:31 | |
-You're right. - -Oh! | 0:11:31 | 0:11:33 | |
-That chair was on stage -and on the lorry. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
-This one? | 0:11:39 | 0:11:40 | |
-This one? - -Yes. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:41 | |
-At last, Jenny's dream of being -crowned queen is realised. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:45 | |
-I was cross that my sister -had been chosen, not me. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:49 | |
-You're queen for today. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:51 | |
-It doesn't fit. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:52 | |
-It doesn't fit. - -No. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:53 | |
-Your head's too big! | 0:11:54 | 0:11:55 | |
-Your head's too big! - -Keep still. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:56 | |
-But there's more searching to do. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
-Who arrives in style? | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
-What has happened -to this red-headed girl? | 0:12:02 | 0:12:05 | |
-And who is this, -living like a queen in London? | 0:12:06 | 0:12:09 | |
-. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:10 | |

-This photo of the 1980 -Bethesda Carnival... | 0:12:23 | 0:12:26 | |
-..has motivated Amanda -to look for the people in it. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:30 | |
-With the help of close friend Jenny, -she's found most of the crew... | 0:12:30 | 0:12:35 | |
-..and a few regal treasures -that are essential for the photo. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:40 | |
-Most of the crew -still live locally. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:47 | |
-Amanda knows that this girl has been -working in a Caernarfon bank... | 0:12:48 | 0:12:52 | |
-..since leaving school. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:53 | |
-Hiya, Diane, you OK? | 0:12:54 | 0:12:55 | |
-LAUGHTER | 0:12:56 | 0:12:57 | |
-How are you? | 0:12:57 | 0:12:58 | |
-How are you? - -What are you doing here? | 0:12:58 | 0:13:00 | |
-I've found a photo. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:01 | |
-I've found a photo. - -Right. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:02 | |
-You're in it. -Do you remember anything about it? | 0:13:03 | 0:13:07 | |
-I do! | 0:13:07 | 0:13:08 | |
-This is Diane. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:11 | |
-It was the first carnival. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:13 | |
-There hadn't been a carnival -in the village for years. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:19 | |
-I remember the excitement, -the band and the majorettes. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:24 | |
-It brought the community together. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:27 | |
-It's a pity it's not held any more. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
-I remember you with your gloves. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:35 | |
-It tickled me! | 0:13:35 | 0:13:36 | |
-What did I do with them? | 0:13:37 | 0:13:38 | |
-What did I do with them? - -You went like this with them. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:40 | |
-I wasn't used to wearing gloves. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:42 | |
-Only the attendants wore them. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:44 | |
-Yes. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:46 | |
-The attendants had bands too. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
-You had flowers -because you were flower girls. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:53 | |
-Would you be game -to coming to a reunion? | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
-It'd be great! -Especially now we're all 40. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:02 | |
-No need to mention that, Diane! | 0:14:03 | 0:14:05 | |
-It would be a good time... | 0:14:06 | 0:14:09 | |
-..to arrange a reunion. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:12 | |
-It would be brilliant. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:14 | |
-It would be brilliant. - -You're game? | 0:14:14 | 0:14:15 | |
-Yes. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:16 | |
-Now Diane has agreed, -the reunion is falling into place. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:21 | |
-In the meantime, living -in the big city far from Bethesda... | 0:14:22 | 0:14:26 | |
-..is one of -the float's main characters. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:29 | |
-The message has reached Queen Lynne. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:31 | |
-Hello... Jenny! | 0:14:32 | 0:14:33 | |
-Lynne works for -a famous cosmetic company. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:37 | |
-This is the Elizabeth Arden HQ... | 0:14:37 | 0:14:39 | |
-..in the heart of London, -where I've worked for 15 years. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:45 | |
-Part of my work is to teach -the Elizabeth Arden saleswomen... | 0:14:45 | 0:14:49 | |
-..in the shops -about all the products. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:53 | |
-My first job was -in Plas Menai, Port Dinorwig. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:58 | |
-I met my husband, Andy, there. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:00 | |
-We moved to Essex. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:02 | |
-We lived there for almost 20 years. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:06 | |
-We've just moved here -this year, to Hampshire. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:10 | |
-Elliott, Sam! | 0:15:10 | 0:15:11 | |
-What was it like -to be a queen for a day? | 0:15:12 | 0:15:15 | |
-The night I found out -I'd been chosen to be queen... | 0:15:15 | 0:15:19 | |
-..I was over the moon. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:21 | |
-On the day, we decorated the float -outside the house. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:25 | |
-We went down Bethesda's main street. -I remember the crowds. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:31 | |
-I'll never forget seeing -so many people along the street. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:35 | |
-Another member of Lynne's family -helped behind the scenes... | 0:15:38 | 0:15:42 | |
-..driving the lorry - -her big brother, Paul. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:46 | |
-He worked hard for the carnival -and in the following years. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:51 | |
-He drove the float. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:54 | |
-For Lynne, remembering the carnival -brings back mixed emotions. | 0:15:55 | 0:16:00 | |
-Paul died ten years later -in a motorcycling accident. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:05 | |
-It was a very sad time, of course... | 0:16:06 | 0:16:08 | |
-..for me, Mam and all the family. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:11 | |
-It wasn't so easy -to look back at the carnival... | 0:16:12 | 0:16:17 | |
-..and feel happy about it. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
-We go to the cemetery -every time we go home. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:26 | |
-But seeing old faces -will lift the heart of this queen. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:31 | |
-I can't wait to see everyone. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:34 | |
-Diane, of course, -we're great friends - and Jenny. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:39 | |
-Sarah, of course - the escort. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
-I've heard that Huw is very tall. -He was only little at the time. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:46 | |
-I'm looking forward -to seeing everyone. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:49 | |
-So the queen is returning -to the scene of her coronation. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:54 | |
-The big day is here. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:57 | |
-This plumber from Cardiff -has left his work for a few hours... | 0:16:57 | 0:17:01 | |
-..to take part in the fun. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:03 | |
-This is Darren. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:04 | |
-He has hardly seen -the others since the carnival. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
-Will they recognise him? | 0:17:10 | 0:17:11 | |
-Melanie has had a long journey too. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:16 | |
-This is Molly. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:19 | |
-We've come from Ormskirk, -100 miles away, to the cold! | 0:17:19 | 0:17:24 | |
-But a warm welcome awaits Melanie - -it's more than a carnival reunion. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:30 | |
-Today's an exciting day. -I hope to see everyone. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:35 | |
-And to see the family, -I haven't been here for months. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:39 | |
-I've been very busy. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:41 | |
-So it's nice to come here -and see everyone. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:44 | |
-You remember all the flowers? | 0:17:45 | 0:17:48 | |
-It took us days, weeks, -to make the flowers. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:52 | |
-We had to decorate the float. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:54 | |
-Oh, my lord! | 0:17:56 | 0:17:58 | |
-I remember getting on the float -on the Saturday morning. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:04 | |
-There's no float -this afternoon, is there? | 0:18:04 | 0:18:07 | |
-No! | 0:18:08 | 0:18:09 | |
-Although the float was -the centrepiece on the day... | 0:18:12 | 0:18:15 | |
-..the night before, the coronation -ceremony filled the school hall. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:20 | |
-Amanda was nervous 30 years ago. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:23 | |
-And she's nervous again today, -for a different reason. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:27 | |
-The stage looks small now -compared to when I was younger. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:31 | |
-It looked massive. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:34 | |
-The hall was full. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:37 | |
-I'm excited! I'm looking -forward to seeing everyone. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:45 | |
-But who in particular? -She's used to seeing these two. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:49 | |
-Melanie. I haven't seen her. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:52 | |
-Melanie. I haven't seen her. - -Me neither. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:53 | |
-Nor the lads. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:55 | |
-I don't think I'll recognise Darren. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:57 | |
-On cue, here he is! | 0:18:58 | 0:19:00 | |
-Darren! | 0:19:00 | 0:19:01 | |
-Don't hide under the chairs today! | 0:19:02 | 0:19:03 | |
-We always had to look -for Darren under the chairs. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:08 | |
-I don't think -you wanted to be in it at all! | 0:19:08 | 0:19:11 | |
-No! | 0:19:11 | 0:19:12 | |
-Everyone starts to arrive, -some from near, some from afar. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:16 | |
-Darren? | 0:19:17 | 0:19:17 | |
-Darren? - -Yes. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:18 | |
-Goodness! You haven't grown a lot! | 0:19:18 | 0:19:20 | |
-Diane hasn't lost her humour. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:24 | |
-But does she remember Melanie? | 0:19:24 | 0:19:26 | |
-Oh! Are you OK? | 0:19:27 | 0:19:29 | |
-Oh, god! How are you? | 0:19:31 | 0:19:33 | |
-I haven't seen you for years! | 0:19:33 | 0:19:35 | |
-It's emotional! | 0:19:35 | 0:19:37 | |
-And who's this? | 0:19:38 | 0:19:40 | |
-This is Karen. The Bethesda girl -still remembers everyone. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:44 | |
-I can say who everyone is. -Everyone still has the same smile. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:48 | |
-The moment they arrived, -I knew them. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:51 | |
-You'll be 40 next year, Karen? | 0:19:51 | 0:19:52 | |
-You'll be 40 next year, Karen? - -Yes. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:53 | |
-Thanks a lot! | 0:19:54 | 0:19:55 | |
-I had a tattoo. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
-Look! | 0:19:58 | 0:19:59 | |
-I has such a crisis, -I didn't want to be 40 at all. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:03 | |
-They say it's the new 30! | 0:20:04 | 0:20:05 | |
-They say it's the new 30! - -Yes! | 0:20:05 | 0:20:07 | |
-It makes you realise how quickly -time passes. It's almost 30 years. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:12 | |
-Ann and her young brother, -Huw the policeman, have arrived. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:16 | |
-He looked good in uniform! | 0:20:16 | 0:20:18 | |
-He looked good in uniform! - -Did he? | 0:20:18 | 0:20:19 | |
-And here's Queen Lynne -to crown the event. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:23 | |
-Hiya, Lynne, you OK? | 0:20:24 | 0:20:26 | |
-It's nice to see you. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:29 | |
-You haven't changed at all, Lynne. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:30 | |
-You haven't changed at all, Lynne. - -No! | 0:20:30 | 0:20:31 | |
-The dress would still fit you. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:33 | |
-The dress would still fit you. - -No - I've tried! | 0:20:33 | 0:20:36 | |
-Lads, come on. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:40 | |
-There's one more thing to do. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:43 | |
-You can't be attendants or page boys -without the right costumes. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:48 | |
-Cute! | 0:20:48 | 0:20:49 | |
-Cute! - -Hope I don't drop the crown. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:51 | |
-You can't crown a queen -without a mistress of ceremonies. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:54 | |
-Maureen Rhys crowned Lynne. -There's a surprise for the crew. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:59 | |
