This year’s Huntingdon Carnival and Live in the Park events will take place this weekend.
The carnival on Saturday (August 12) starts with a procession, which leaves The George Hotel at midday and makes its way along the High Street and then down Hartford Road and into the Riverside Park.

The carnival committee, lead by chairman Bill Hensley and vice-chairman/treasurer Ray Godby, said: “We would like to take this opportunity to thank the new Huntingdon mayor and mayoress for their support in this event. Thank you, also, to the outgoing carnival queen, Isabella Du Toit and her two princesses Jessica Scott and Molly Thompson. Thank you to all the girls who took part in the competition and all the parents, grandparents and friends who supported them.”
