When the Queen came through Clayton in 1967 we were taken from All Saints to stand along Blackburn Road with red, white and blue balloons. We were made to stand in order but by the time she came we'd moved round and half the balloons had burst so I'm not sure the effect was quite what it was supposed to be.
