Absolute madhouse, never seen as many there before, hard to spot the re-enactors amongst the crowds. Saw two charlatan type spivs, Morrisey and Boboil charging people to have their pics taken

I do love these events. There was the Haworth 40's weekend a couple of weeks ago.



I recognise a couple of the characters, they must travel to all the events.

A few of mine, shot on film, so had to wait to get them back!




We apologise for the delay on platform 1, this is due to an unforeseen Nazi invation.



Told you I got a close up of the umpa lumpa Ed!
