The Nuneaton Carnival Queen for 2002 - 2003 is Frances Tomkinson. She took over from last year's queen, Clare Brewin.
Frances received flowers and her trophy from Deputy Mayor, Councillor Geoff Ashford at Bedworth Civic Hall on 3 May 2002.
The celebrity guest is going to be Vicki Michelle, known best for her performance as the sexy bar maid in 'Allo 'Allo.
She will be saying bonjoir to the crowds in an open top car following the Lord Mayor's car at the front of the procession.
