AFTER seeing last week’s feature on Miss World, Ann Sidney, Gordon Elsworth of Poole, sent in a couple of photographs of the beauty queen when she was at Hamworthy Engineering sports club ground at Fleetsbridge in Poole.
Taken in the same year she was crowned Miss World, the pictures are unusual as they are not in black and white, but colour. In one picture she is seen signing autographs for fans. Her brother is behind her, looking towards the person with the camera.
Ann was a guest at a charity football match held at the ground. Dick Richardson, the European heavyweight boxing champion, was also there and as can be seen in the second picture, he was playing in the event.
