Happy Trevithick Day 2020.
Despite the Covid-19 lockdown, the organisers of the yearly tribute to Camborne’s most famous son and 'father of steam locomotion', Richard Trevithick, are encouraging people to mark the occasion.
They are encouraging people to dress up and dance around their own living room instead, and hoping people will post videos and photos of themselves on the @cambornetown and @trevithick_day Facebook, Twitter and Instagram platforms.
To get you in the mood, here's a look back to the 2019 celebrations, and a recording recalling the first ever Trevithick Day from Trevor Dalley.
The annual parade to remember the legendary engineer attracted huge crowds of onlookers.
As well as the caravan of historic steam engines, there was a range of street entertainment with dancers and live music.
The morning of Saturday April 27 saw the town's children take part in the Bal Maidens and Miners Dance, whilst the adult's Trevithick's Dance followed in the afternoon.
One of the steam engines on display was the replica of Richard Trevithick's Puffing Devil, one of the earliest steam vehicles, which carried out the first passenger steam journey in Camborne's Fore Street in 1801.
There was a vast array of stalls lining the streets and a fairground in the town's central car park.
Children from local schools including Weeth School, Roskear School, Penponds School, Rosemellin School and Troon School took part in the parade.
