It was 110 years ago that the Greatest Show on Earth swept the United Kingdom off its royal feet.

Today, January 3, 2008, the attendees of last evenings Opening Night of the Greatest Show on Earth in Tampa were also swept off their feet.......when they heard the price of cotton candy.

Some things change, some things never change.

Is all of the language on the posters in English? If yes, then there's a good chance that these photos were shot in England and reproduced later for continental sales. B&B did have posters printed in German and French.
