Below are a few pictures taken early morning before the Parade Laps. The house is the one where Bira’s car ended up after his accident on Gravel Pit Bend on the Model Farm Rd. The house remains in the same family and they relate the story whereby the Prince was offered a cup of tea (Barry’s Tea, of course!) only for the Prince’s ‘man’ to taste it before sipping on it himself once his ‘man’ hadn’t been poisoned!
