The 1960 Spalding Flower Parade theme was 'The Splendour of Spring'

The parade attracted a huge crowd with floats by companies such as Interflora with their giant telephone (carrying Mavis Lewis of Nottingham) and the British Judo Association and the Holland Division of Civil Defence

​

The final float carried the Tulip Queen. A huge construction in the shape of a peacock. The queen was miss Wendy Smith and she had two attendants, Joyce Burnett and Beryl Haney.
