A group of excited adults and children eagerly awaiting the arrival of the new queen. The photograph was taken outside of the BLACK HORSE pub, in the Market Place

How well I remember those double-breasted coats and hair in plaits under hand-knitted bonnets. I bet a lot of Wigan World ladies recall wearing little white heart-shaped badges with their name on, usually bought on a day-trip to Southport.
