On Sunday 23 June 1984, 100 years after the International Meridian Conference, a parade of children and older volunteers dressed as pirates and sailors proceeded through the town to this point, to take part in ‘Crossing the Line’ activities. If you have any pictures of the occasion, please let us know.
