Thousands of people turned out to watch the 1994 Dover Pageant spectacle in Connaught Park.

The theme was Banking on Dover and hundreds of people - portraying characters down the centuries  helped bring history to life.

 

                                                         Romans

 

            

                                         Early Britains - Bodicca

 

The community theatre event included singing, dancing, battles, smugglers, children from local schools, bowmen, gymnasts, horses, cattle, sheep and dogs. 

The story, which took nearly three hours to unfold, had been researched by Pageant Mistress Lorraine Sencicle, who was also celebrating her birthday that day, and was written and directed by Noreen Thomas.
