Glamour, power and influence - all part of life as a Carnival Queen in Southend-on-Sea, Essex.

Queens may still have chaperones and celebrity status, but what is the appeal for the modern girl?

Sara Parker hears from queens past and present as they get together for this year's event.

Will the tradition survive for the another 75 years?

Presented and produced by Sara Parker.

First broadcast on 成人论坛 Radio 4 in August 2001.
