Hi John, i was at the pageant also on saturday. What a great day wasn't it! Nice cars, nice people great music and fantastic weather. So much so i didn't realise how hot until i ended up un the Red Cross tent! Oh dear, will wear a hat next time! Great vid mate, all the best.

Hello mate it certainly was a great day in fact you really need two days to see it all as there was so much more to see but that is where age comes into play , two days would be a bit to tiring for this Ole boy , all we have got to do now is what to what happens next year . All the best ... John

Hi John, Great video! Hope the whispers are wrong about the future of the Pageant as It is one of the best remaining things about Enfield!!

Thanks Steve it was the notice on the fence by the entrance that more or less confirmed changes were coming but like yourself hope thats not the case as its a highlight of the year for a lot of people .

@@jf4950 Chris Norris who you may know was largely responsible for creating & getting the pageant started & off the ground along with the whitewebbs museum was a close family friend for many years & I like to think of how the event & the museum have to be a reflection of two of his greatest achievements !! I used to get involved in the early days with a bit of marshalling & wot not back when it was ''The Enfield & District Veteran Vehicle Society'' (or T.E.D.V.V. S.) Bit of a mouthful, but so many happy memories !!! I can't think of one other single location in Enfield that would be better suited for the event . Town Park ? doubt it! Whitewebs or Trent Park ? Who knows?! It has worked so well for such a long time. On the A10, close to the M25, good access & parking all round. If it ain't broke, then why fix it? is what I say! Sadly missed this years one along with a few others as I'm now living in Cornwall. So I will be curiously following any news if you can keep us posted John! Your movie looks very sharp John !! Was it taken with some new kit or something?

@@suggz66 Hello Steve l know of but don’t know Chris Norris personally and also know he was one the founding members along with others who made the museum and Pageant achieve the success it rightly deserves , l also like yourself will be interested in what if any new site will fill the shoes of The Enfield Playing Fields as it is the perfect all round location , by the why Whitewebs is out to the equation as spurs have leased a large part of it from Enfield Council for a new training ground . l’m not involved with the museum so only go on hear say but will try and keep you posted if l do pick up on anything . Lastly everything was taken on my iphone ( Apart from the drone footage from my Dji Mini 2 ) with no extra attachments fitted and edited using Final Cut Pro . All the best …. John Ps - Cornwall is a lovely part of the country which l sadly have not revisited for years and still have many happy memories of holidaying there .

I had to do a double take at 3 minutes 21 seconds, I really thought that was Mr Bean! Not an event I've ever attended, not really my cup of tea other than to grab some photos / video footage. Nice video though.

It’s a shame to hear that this could be the last Pageant on the Playing Fields. Jools Holland used to be seen over each year

Good morning John it is beginning to sound like the last time of being held on this site but never say never .
