Maypole Dance at the Upchurch Village Fete Day 2014.

This year the old Village Maypole was found, restored and danced around again at the Village Fete Day. Possibly for the fist time in some 15 years.

The day was also part of the Village World War One Centenary Commemorations.

Thanks very much to Max Lee for kindly allowing us to post his video.
