More limousines than you’d see at the Oscars
8:42am Saturday 28th June 2008
CROWDS cheered as those arriving at the Hotel Prince Regent for Weymouth's Wey Valley School prom turned up in everything from an Aston Martin to a horse and carriage.
There were more limousines than seen at the Oscars backed up by everything from jeeps and camper vans to Rolls Royces and even a cardboard-cut-out car running very greenly on foot power.
Rain threatened but held off, spectators lining special areas arranged behind barriers cheered some stunning prom dresses and outfits and the event was a credit to the many members of staff led by Kirstie Pagington who also turned up to enjoy the event.
