Surbiton Festival. A bit of a let down

I felt that this year's festival was not the same as in past years, the procession was hardly worth watching. A couple of brass bands and the Morris dancers, oh yes and a couple of old cars. Mostly lots of children and when the mums with pushchairs started coming through we thought it was the end of the procession, apparently it was members of something called Gymboree. Basically just the usual stalls, about two thirds as many as last year, lots of silver jewellery etc. and bric a brac. The best thing was the waitrrss on stilts, she is always the best thing about the Festival.

‘Gentle and kind’ Mr McKinlay was a member of the Surbiton Club and worked as a bar steward there, bringing many years of experience with him. Friend Bob Tyler paid tribute to Mr McKinlay, who had been missing from his home for two days last week.

Mr McKinlay, 61, from Surbiton, was last seen at his home at 9.45am on Wednesday, September 24. Police were called to reports of a man collapsed in Victoria Park in Balaclava Road, Surbiton, at 10.45am on Friday.
