The judges of the competition: Lord & Lady Crook, Helen Temple and Major Wells sit on a raised theatre stage and watch competitors come out, one by one, to be asked questions by a compere. There are occasional views of an appreciative audience. All the young women line up while the judges confer, and the winner is announced as Miss Patricia Sandford. She is adorned with a carnival queen banner and the runners up receive accolades. On Carnival Day itself (June 7th 1952) the carnival procession begins at Rosehill, walking up Reigate Avenue and turning about the roundabout before proceeding south down Rose Hill.
