These grinning and waving wee Govanites were on the wagon for the Govan Fair in 1960.

The event, which had been held since the early 18th century, can trace its roots  back to at least the Middle Ages. Today, it is is one of the longest established popular community events in Europe. 

The Govan Weavers' Society revived the festival in 1757 and it continued until 1881. Members of the Old Govan Club revived the Fair once more in 1920.
