Thanks Malcolm. I also have vague memories of there being a child's garland for a brief period, which was filled with sweets and released much earlier on the final evening for younger attendees.

The singing of Wild Mountain Time at Whitby matches anything I've heard in a sporting arena or anywhere else when it comes to mass communal singing that stirs emotions/makes the hairs on your arms stand on end. I would imagine that generations and generations to come will owe a debt of gratitude towards Dave Brady.
