My late mother spoke of it ever so highly! Changing the title serves no purpose. The Bower Queen title in itself creates a new refreshing moment each year with more fond memories to pass on & remember. I don't think this is solely about a committee's desire to even at a whim "update it". What about the Lichfield community? Generations have passed this title on to the next. The Bower Queen is is an incredible part of Lichfield's heart, history and beautiful memory - cherished by so, so many.

My one uncle was on the committee for a number of years. The traditions are rapidly disappearing. The Bower cake, the Big Heads, the Citizen on horseback and more....and now the Bower Queen!! People need to research the mediaeval traditions of the festival, always led by a queen of the day. Perhaps next year the committee will want to rename itself as 'Lichfield fun day' rather than proudly displaying 'Lichfield Greenhill Bower' on their fluorescent jackets!!!!

Instead of building more horrible looking appartments like the one by the tower clock we should be building more entertainment venues - cinema/bowling and get out high streets busy again! We'll end up like Sutton Coldfield soon who used to have a good shopping hub but no longer has any thing to offer.

What I'm trying to say is Lichfield change things for no reason and do some really crap things.

I know I went off subject but the Lichfield council are rubbish!

Bower queen 2017!!!

Yes, there has been a great deal of publicity however from what I have seen this is mainly negative. There have been various comments about the Bower committee working hard, nobody is disputing this they work hard every year, this year they have worked tirelessly at creating the wrong kind of publicity.

Bower committee, admit your error and reinstate the Bower Queen.
