Does anyone know what years these were in Berryhill Park? We attended most years and remember dancing in the Bandstand with my mum. I might have been there. Just a few years before we moved to the 'Yeoman Estate', Lansdowne Avenue and Dorchester Drive.

The youngish, tall man in the dark suit (in the centre of the first photo and on the right in the last photo) is Richard Marsh. He was Minister of Power 1966-68.
