Fab Photo Friday - April 4th 2014

It's Friday again so it's time for this week's fab Coronation Street photo.  We've got a blast from the past this week as we travel back to 1977 and the Queen's Silver Jubilee. Here's the Coronation Street float for the Weatherfield Jubilee parade. I'm sure you can all work out which regulars are on the float but who are they dressed up as?

    From what I can remember:

    Ken Barlow - Edmund Hillary?
    Bet Lynch - Britannia?
    Ena Sharples - Queen Victoria?
    Annie Walker - Queen Elizabeth I?
    Eddie Yeats - caveman?

    Can't remember who Albert Tatlock was, someone like Ralph Amundsen?

    And Fred Gee and Ernie Bishop were either Walter Raleigh or Francis Drake?

    I'll be looking forward to finding the answers :)

    I don't know the answers for certain myself Llifon :-) though I could probably look it up. I think ken & Albert are Hillary & Tensing though no idea which is which.

    Ah yes, looked it up on Corriepedia. Ken was Hillary and Albert was Tenzing. The others I think are all correct. :)

    Smiley, I think at the time Everest was conquered New Zealand was still part of the British Empire and therefore the achievement was claimed for the empire, absurd though it seems!
