THE 39th and possibly last of one of Marlow's traditional summer events – the Rose Carnival – will take place on Saturday.

Exasperated volunteers say there is not enough help and support to keep running the event.

(see related articles below).

It is a major fundraiser for Burford School and the Marlow Bottom playing fields – where it takes place.

A dog show, fun run, a children's entertainer and maypole dancing will be among the offerings for visitors from midday to 4pm.

This year's Rose Queen is Amy Barlow, 10, and Rose Princess Jemima Hay, six – both pupils at Burford School.

They were the two winners of the carnival drawing competition.
