In addition to the foregoing scenes, there was a Sea Pageant with Diving Demonstrations by professional divers, Rocket Life-Saving Apparatus, Raft Building, Display of Resuscitation of the Apparently Drowned, Ship on Fire, Display of Life-Saving by Real Mining Heroes from Wales, Seaplane Flights from the Shore, Athletic Contests, Boy Scouts' Contest, etc.
The Civic welcomes to those ladies and gentlemen who performed the unveiling ceremonies and who were entertained by the Mayor (Councillor E. Armitage Hocking) and the Mayoress, Mr. Coulson Kernahan, Mrs. Tubbs and others, was a feature of the Pageant of Heroes. (The writer had the pleasure of taking an active co-operation in this Pageant and compiled the historical data in connection with several of the famous men whose memory was honoured.)
"A tablet to the Memory of Miss Matilda Beetham Edwards[a] was affixed to No. 9, High Wickham, where she resided from 1884 till her death in 1919, and was unostentatiously unveiled by the Mayor (Councillor W. Perrins), in the presence of Mr. Thomas Parkin, J. P., an old friend and neighbour of Miss M. Beetham Edwards."
