ENJOY the fun of Hedge End’s traditional carnival – held on the first Saturday in July since 1921 – later today.

Carnival Queen Olivia Fisher, princesses Mia Gardner, Lily Angell-Collins, Sidnie Killen and Sadie Smith, as well as Senior Queen Margaret Holmes will be leading the colourful cavalcade around the streets.

The procession starts at 2.15pm from the playing fields at St John’s Road and ends at Greta Park where visitors can enjoy traditional games, stalls and live entertainment.

All proceeds go to good causes locally.
