All the fun of the fair

George Irvin's Fun Fair is in Roundwood Park. The chimes preceding announcements have been heard every five minutes all over Willesden for about a week. They sound something like fa-so-la-tee-do. So the Herald sent a team to investigate.



This is a carnival with lots of white knuckle rides as well as gentle ones for the kids, and all the usual attractions.



It must be beautiful by night.



There is a good choice of stalls, where you can try and knock something down or perform some other feat to win a toy for your admiring companion.



Really wanted to try this. All work and no play for the Herald investigators.



The carnivore is over.



This thing is called Sky Fire. [I am a coward. No, I mean I get travel sick, so I can't take these rides. Honest. Ossian.]



The people are the right way up at this stage.



It's nice to have a date and win a cuddly toy for a girl, or re-enact the strangulation scene from Strangers on a Train.



We made a movie of some of the scarier rides for the Herald Online. [No space on the server. Ed.]



Dusk! It's dusk now. Go to the carnival. Live it up. It is the stuff of life.
