CLASSIC SCOOTERIST EVENTS
After various (and numerous) form filling, by mid-March, the ‘casting team’ confirmed we’d been selected; then in mid-April we received confirmation of our official registration and approval.
In mid-May, we participated in two key online sessions introducing the various front line organisers; we were also advised of various acts in the procession and told that scooters were in Act Two, entitled The Time of Our Lives.
There were to be seven vintage open top buses representing different decades of the Queen’s reign from 1950-2010 with different acts following each bus carrying numerous celebrities and wrapped with imagery depicting icons and news of the times. Route details and dress code, etc, were divulged; it was to be 3km long and involved about 10,000 people (watched in the end on TV by 8.7 million people).
We found appropriate outfits; Sue borrowed a long coat full of Union flags; we purchased Union
