NOSTALGIA: Hundreds watch Boston pancake race spectacle 50 years ago
Here we see the finalists in the Standard-organised pancake race of 1971.
About 500 men, women and children lined the 120-yard course in Boston’s Central Park to see eight ‘gallant’ women with frying pans compete in the event. The winner, Pauline Burton (second from left), was presented with a new pan by Boston mayor Coun Alan Foster. The other finalists were (from left) Sue Farrow, Lynne Chapman, and Chris Roddis.
