THURSDAY, May 16, was an ideal day for The Antiques Road Show which was held at Polesden Lacey, writes Ruth Aldridge.
It attracted a huge number of cars containing many enthusiasts, quite large numbers of whom were bringing their possible treasures for valuation.
Many of them had to wait several hours to get to the head of the queue, but most, I think, probably felt it was worth the wait, especially if their treasure was valued as highly as they hoped.
The large marquee which had been erected in case of bad weather was not needed and the crowd really seemed to find it all most interesting to see how it was all done even if they were not there for a valuation.
It all seemed very well organised and the show's presenter Fiona Bruce was much in evidence and was happy to have her photo taken.
There may have been many treasures discovered so that it will be worth watching the programme when it is broadcast.
