This is a proud moment for me - thanks are due to so many of you along the way and all those who came before. Do order your copy, if outdoor arts, seasides, popular cultural forms and British identity are of interest... www.routledge.com/Dont-Forget-The-Pierrots-The-Complete-History-of-British-Pierrot/Lidington/p/bo...
It seems an appropriate time to be re-posting this recording of stories about the old Queen... My contributions are at 9.49-9.13 and 18.40-21.46, but all the stories are quite jolly!

Here is a recording of people's memories of encoutering Queen Elizabeth II - my bits are at 9.49-9.13 and 18.40-21.46... but it is all quite fun!
This is another lovely little item on ITV News South West about the Grand Pier sentry box that we have revamped in Teignmouth... the worlds of seaside and peepshows combined! ![]()
This has been a complex community partnership between Prom-Prom, Devon County Council, the Grand Pier, Teignbridge District Council, Teignmouth Town Council, Teignmouth Heritage Museum and a range of visual artists - the result being a permanent and delightful contribution to the fabric of Teignmouth seafront, which is free and accessible to all! We are there regularly each Monday and Tuesday throughout the summer, animating the promenade with shows, games and walkabout family fun... see you down there, I hope.
