This year my dream came true of once again dressing up and being part of our local Northfleet annual carnival. I had this vision of me wearing an outfit similar to the one worn by Queen Nefertiti (c. 1370 – c. 1330 BC) who was an Egyptian Queen and the Great Royal Wife (chief consort) of Akhenaten, an Egyptian Pharaoh.
My lovely friend Josephine who owns her own label Ethnic Royal,
( https://www.ethnicroyals.co.uk) was able to get the outfit made for me which I am very pleased with. I love the style and their are various ways I can wear the outfit when I attend other events,
I also loved the way our local taxi drivers raised some money to provide refreshments for us during the parade. It is such a good gesture which they do every year.
Some photos of the day – I was happy to share the float with City Youth who really kept us entertained the whole way.
