Re: leeds....
Well jo, it began in 1810 in southern germany, bavaria. prince ludwig1 was preparing for his marriage to princess therese of sachsen-hildurghausen. The following autumn the people of the town began to reminisce about the great time they had, the previous year, the townspeople decided to honour the prince and celebrate his wedding aniversary in much the same way. this became an annual event and thus you have the OKTOBERFEST. am i right jo.
