Helston Flora Day

In the town of Helston in Cornwall, May 8th is called the Flora Day. It is an auspicious occasion with pagan origins. The townsfolk dance all day, through the town, and sometimes actually in and out of the houses.

This photo was taken in 1932. See the litte chap, far right leading the dance? That’s my Dad.
