They were joined by dancers from surrounding areas.

During their tour they split into two parties and visited other towns and villages nearby.

At 7pm they arrived in Aylesbury and danced in Market Square to a huge crowd of people.

Here we see a couple of men by the Clock Tower.

On the right is Weston’s Fashion Corner - what later became Freeman, Hardy & Willis’s shoe shop.
