The year 2001.... For many of us older Modbury residents, this date conjurs up a fantastic science fiction future. So this year, for its May Fair, Modbury celebrated a future where mankind is ruled by "damn dirty Apes!" to quote Charlton Heston in the classic Sci-fi movie, Planet of the Apes.
As usual, the townsfolk of Modbury threw themselves into the spirit of things with great gusto - dressing up as Apes and primitive humans to recreate scenes from the classic movie for the carnival (See pictures below).
