Mansfield Carnival was popular with young and old alike, with floats parading through the streets and entertainment galore.
We have trawled the archives for pictures from the 1980 carnival, with marching bands, clowns, floats, angels and country singers all featuring in this gallery.
Step back in time and see if you can spot any familiar faces.
A brief message from the editor:
In these uncertain times, local journalism is more important than ever.
Thank you to every single one of you who help support our work by buying a newspaper or taking out a subscription.
We couldn’t do it without you.
