    i trust there’s not going to be any gender-discrimination based on the old-fashioned idea that a carnival queen should be female!

    For one sleepy West country town, it is an unchanging tradition that stretches back decades.

    As autumn falls and the days shorten, crowds gather for the annual Blackberry carnival and to cheer the young carnival queen.

    But this year, eyebrows have been raised among town traditionalists by an alternative choice of queen – a gay teenage boy sporting a tiara and tight lilac dress…

    hail the conquering hero comes!!

    i like the name of the chairman of the carnival committee – robin goodfellow!

    it’s quite exciting speculating on who’s going to win the prize.

    but to aid social cohesion i think it’d be a good idea if ventnor were to emulate weymouth and pick :

    A CARNIVAL COMMUNITY CHAMPION!
