The selection of this years May Queen and Entourage has recently taken place,
a couple of weeks before the announcement is made, children put themselves
forward for the various roles. Year 6 girls who wished to be considered for
May Queen or Crowner, and Year 6 boys who wished to be considered for May
Prince or Herald, each wrote a personal statement for consideration by their
peers. A voting process, which is done anonymously, was carried out just before
half term and the Mayor and his Consort attended Great Torrington Bluecoat C of
E Primary School to verify the winners and to draw the names of the Attendants.

As well as the fabulous 2024 May Queen with her entourage and their families, we welcomed another special guest at the Mayfair lunch this year.
Our guest, Mrs Pat Martin made the outfits for the May Queen and her entourage from 1969 until 1992. Yesterday there was a small selection of these outfits on display, and a handful of the people who loaned us their historic costumes came together for a photograph with Mrs. Martin.
Thankyou to everyone who helped to make it a special day for Mrs. Martin, people were so happy to share their outfits and their Mayfair stories.
