After the parade
With the parade being so long many at the beginning had
completed the route and been dismissed so they were then able to watch the
rest
of the parade or retire to one of the food and drink areas to recover. The whole
atmosphere of the day was one of enjoyment and having fun.
Considering the numbers of people in the area there was only 1 police car seen and a number of Red Cross vehicles were also in the area.
This was a day to remember and to enjoy there was a great deal
of humour and exuberance that was enjoyed by many.
Watching
guild members making their way back to meeting places with the masks hung over
their backs or on top of their heads was good fun also from our perspective on a
balcony looking down on the crowds.
