Description:Episode I of the Pageant, the Prologue, was ‘designed to illustrate the drift of history through many centuries’ and included ‘comic relief’ from a family of three gigantic prehistoric monsters of the Stone Age, named Egbert, Ogbert and Little Sidney. Egbert was described by the Pageant Master, Gwen Lally, as being sixty feet long, almost as tall as a church, with great motor lamps for eyes and the ability to waggle his head. He could also roar and emit yellow smoke from his nostrils. The Birmingham Mail revealed that the monster was made from 3,000 plywood strips, a ton of paint, 200 yards of canvas, motive power supplied by twelve men, and was mounted on a chassis incorporating the axles and wheels of a light car.
