Well done
'Mr Margate,' Mick Tomlinson for the Margate Carnival Float at the New Year's Day Parade in London.

Margate's Carnival Queen was interviewed on live television and Thanet received welcome and well-deserved publicity on the streets of London, with an estimated 600,000 people crowding the streets to watch the procession.
I would like to echo Mick's note of thanks on Facebook to Jadine [the Carnival Queen] Rob, Peter and Callum for their help

Also shown below, for the benefit of Daniel Goldman at
Cafe G. who serves the finest coffee in Margate, which I always try and make a point of drinking in passing, the world's first coffee advertisement.
Finally, Oscar-winning documentary film maker Arnold Schwartzman is turning his
cameras on Margate. Schwartzman, who won his Best Documentary Oscar in 1982 for directing the Holocaust film '
Genocide', is using old film clips, posters and live action footage to create '
Margate Paradiso', a tribute to the town.
