The photos of the Northampton carnival in 1972 are so interesting for me. My Uncle Brian (Booker) became caught under one of the float’s wheels and was tragically killed as a child. Although we grew up knowing this we never really wanted to ask too many questions so this is really quite fascinating. Thank you

I found this out today from one of my class mates when we were discussing the carnival the other day…. it must have been horrific for your Grand parents! Apparently the carnival was cancelled for 10 years after this… and now they have procedures in place to prevent it happening again!
