Carnival hero saves day
A knight in shining armour – well actually driving an open topped sports car – saved the day when the horse pulling the carriage taking Chapel St Leonards carnival royalty to the parade shed a shoe.
Villager John Hodges stepped in at the last minute to drive Carnival prince and princess Aaron Rose, 8, and Ella Duncan Cramp, 10.
"He’s a newcomer to the village and we can’t thank him enough,” said committee member Malcolm Pool. “He really saved the day.”
