Carry On Celebrating!

2018 marks the 60th anniversary of the 'Carry On' films.

In June 2018 I had the pleasure of attending a very special event in Ealing, London to celebrate the milestone.

The event was organised by the wonderful people at 'The Whippit Inn'. The group has been running these events for some years now & you are always guaranteed a bawdy old romp! It is a chance a for fans, collectors and the stars of 'Carry On' to meet & mingle and celebrate the huge legacy that the films have left over the last 60 years.

The day was packed with special guests, archive video footage, a Q&A session, celebrity signings, wonderful stories & anecdotes and plenty of bubbly!

Below are a selection of photographs from the event.

So, here is to old friends & new!

The day was packed with great nostalgia, showbiz & wonderful memories. The absence of the great core 'Carry On' team was felt but I am sure that they were there with us in spirit from the great 'Carry On' in the sky!

So bottoms up!

Happy 60th to 'Carry On'!
