I have had a couple of communications disputing that the "flag" created by schoolchildren at Burnden Park - featured in Looking Back recently - was anything to do with the Samuel Crompton festival of 1927.
Two ladies who remember taking part in such an exercise when they were aged about 10 say it was in the mid-1930s. No doubt they are right and I was wrong.Lily Leslie, of Milford Road, Great Lever, tells me it was a silver jubilee celebration for George V and Queen Mary.
She went from Emmanuel Junior School, Deane, wearing a white shirt.
"When the hooter went we had to bend down and touch our toes," she remembers.
This helped create the union flag effect, but I am still not entirely sure of the date.
The King's silver jubilee was on May 7, 1935, and there was a big programme of events that week throughout Bolton - including Queen's Park.
But our files do not mention anything at Burnden Park.
All I can think is that this celebration was held some other time during the year.
