I was very excited to see one of the screenings in London - it's a fantastic film and puts so much of what I love about pageants into words (and images and music). Looking forward to watching it again!!

In 1932, Leicester's historical pageant imagined a scene from 1265: citizens are moved by the news of Simon de Montfort's death at the Battle of Evesham to proclaim him a martyr and saint. 1/2 Pic: Leicester Mercury; pageant info: Historical Pageants historicalpageants.ac.uk/pageants/1119/

'Pageant fever' gripped 20th-century Britain. Leicester's pageant of 1932 featured 6000 human performers (as well as horses, mules, donkeys, dogs, hawks & a boar) acting scripted episodes from Leicester's past, from 50AD to 1882, over nine days. 2/2 historicalpageants.ac.uk/pageants/1119/
