We have a new Duke of Cornwall. Will the new Duke be a good one? Does he know something (or nothing) about our country? Did the old Duke understand Cornwall? Was Helston, and the Flora, familiar to him? When is the Flora? According to custom, the Flora takes place on 8th May - unless that's a Sunday or Monday (market day). But next year the eighth day of May will be on a Monday. In the coming year the festival should be on Saturday 6th May. Is there a problem with that? Yes! The old Duke is now King Charles and his coronation will be on 6th May. Will he change his day? Will the Flora be a different day? Will people need to choose, go to a festival or stay at home and watch television? Helston or London, there will be people dressed up like May Day!
