Glamour, power and influence - all part of life as a Carnival Queen in Southend-on-Sea. Queens may still have chaperones and celebrity status, but what exactly is the appeal forthe modern girl? Sara Parker hears from queens past and present as they assemble for this year's event, and asks if the tradition will survive the next 75 years. Producer Sara Parker
