Newry Town Hall Fancy Dress in the 1980's. Photo: Columba O'Hare

Some wonderful costumes at this Fancy Dress Competition in the 1980's quite possibly 1985.

As usual there were the outfits of the era such as Princess Di, Denis Taylor complete with trophy probably for winning the World Snooker Championship (which he won in 1985!) and a wonderful Clown with the line "Maggie Thatcher isn't Clowning around"which as we well know years later was certainly on the money!

Friar Tucks got a mention with meals on wheels and not to mention a not too cheerful Hunchback of Notre Dam!
