A Royal moment Sunday 1st June 1986. The Queen
Mother visited Ripon during the City's 1100th charter anniversary
celebrations. Ripon City Morris Dancers performed an unscheduled
dance display at Fountains Abbey at the request of the Queen Mother,
after she had spotted our flower-trimmed hats in the crowds.

With Paul Freeman outside the Crown at Grewelthorpe
on Monday 6th June 2005. The occasion of my 400th public performance
with Ripon City Morris Dancers. At the same time the team was enjoying
its 458th outing - but who is counting?! Our captain, Ted Dodsworth,
probably completed his 400 slightly earlier.
