FOR 21 memorable years Roy Tyack was the carnival organiser here in Leigh.
The last one was staged back in 1985.
But here Roy, of Platt Fold Street, Leigh, recalls the 1977 carnival - one at which the buses took centre stage.
Our picture shows a Commer flatback proclaiming "LUT . . . Kings of The Road" leading a gleaming LUT coach.
All of twenty-one years ago!
