LIPHOOK Carnival supported the centenary commemorations of the end of the First World War – helping to keep the nation’s promise that millions who died would never be forgotten.

Despite its more serious theme, the event, in its 116th year, proved to be a great success, with an estimated 6,000 revellers enjoying the buzz and excitement of the village’s biggest annual fundraiser.

The WWI theme was taken up by several floats including the village Girl Guides group and pupils from the junior school pupils, as well as several adult groups for Saturday’s spectacular.

The Liphook Rocks Group, launched a year ago, decided to pay its own tribute to the Poppy Appeal by creating a collage of the symbolic red flowers painted on pebbles, which are now on display at the Liphook Mobility shop in The Square.

Carnival veteran, 83-year-old Trevor Moss, came to the procession as a last-minute entry, to make his final round of honour before retiring – dressing up as Private Godfrey from BBC comedy Dad’s Army – pushed by members of his family.

Carnival chairman Sally Cameron called her inaugural event a ‘triumphant success.’
