M'Aidez! - May Bank Holiday frivolity in St. Ives, Cornwall

Jelly was confined to the slave pits on the May Day Bank Holiday but the Reporting Team were able to sneak out and get some piccies of the frivolities. (Details of the frivolling below). Fortunately, the place was so full of weirdly dressed people that the Reporting Team were able to blend into the crowd without drawing attention to themselves!

The Mayor and her consort kick off the celebrations ...	... No, hang on, I think this is them. It's so difficult to tell clowns and local politicians apart!
C'mon, ring your bell and give us a smile you miserable old git ...	... that's better.
Nobody can accuse St. Ives of not moving with the times ...	... just not necessarily the same times as the rest of the world is moving to!
Members of Cubs Jihad march demanding equal rights (and smaller flags) ...	... while older urchins are forced to beg for a crust. (How can you resist those pleading eyes?).
Elsewhere, the local Lions ply unsuspecting visitors with the local delicacy, mackerel-on-a-stick!	While an American tourist begins to regret ordering a medium-sized pasty.
Novel attempts to sell cheap accommodation near to the harbour proved only partially successful.	The local witch doctor works on some voodoo dolls ...
... looks like he has got a bit of an 'agenda' with most of the town's leading figures.	Warning! Voodoo doll thieves are operating in this area.
A small boy is amused by an impressive organ.		So, obviously no S Club 7, then!
