Kind of cool!

Here is a 30 minute up-close video of the July 7th 2017 60th anniversary celebration, starting with the Quarrymen taking the same route that they took in the lorry that day, followed by John's sister Julia welcoming the audience, and an adorable children's costume contest of Beatle lyrics. It closes with a performance by the Quarrymen. Beatle- themed activities are part of the fete, too. https//

Great footage!

Enjoyed viewing both youtube links. Thanks, Nancy and Joyce.

Yes,thank you for the links, some great footage there. What has occured to me though is that the 60th anniversary fete was held on a different section of the field than the 1957 fete was held. The school hadn't been built back then of course but it seems this years fete was held on their playing field to the north of the school where the original fete was more to the southern end of the field, directly behind the church.

Interesting info! Thanks for sharing. So all the 2017 festivities were not on the exact same spot as the actual 1957 fete. Still, it looked like a great time was had by all, at the 60th.

That's my take on it going by Google Earth images and the fact that the church isn't seen in the (2017) footage. Its still technically the same field though, just this summers fete was down one end of the field where as the original fete was more down the opposite end.
