UK - Paignton - Carnival princess interviewed

A contestant for the next Torbay Carnival Princess and Queen is interviewed by a man as the competition thrones await their newest occupants during the seaside town’s fair in Devon, England. A crown, hat and two bouquets of flowers are for the young girls too. The theme of the stage is blue, with matching colours on both cushions and the backing curtain (drapes). We get a sense of the tacky and the old-fashioned nature of the carnival and of its princess competition.
