RHYL MAY DAY
This snap of a Rhyl May Day parade is from Gaynor Williams who says it would be late 1960s. Owing to a flaw on the original picture, the driver’s face has been reconstructed by Yours Truly and may well bear no resemblance to reality. Next to him sits a Michelin Man figure. The registration number on the car is 122 DM.
