Do you recognise anybody in this 1950's photo taken at a May Queen in Hindley?

i think this ceremony took place after a walking day either on st peters field or all saints field,the average may queen was not as big or grand as that one

The two lads bottom right look like Ian and Mervyn Phillips.

Definitely St. Peter's, we were on the Old Vicarage field on Wigan Road.
