1 May 2010 - Spalding Flower Parade

Our annual pilgrimage to Spalding was as much fun as ever! The over-crowded public transport is all part of the fun, as are the tat-vendors, dropping your chips, and tutting at the young people. Tut.

A police car usually leads the way, and this year was no different. The first band was close behind.

Men in skirts, in rural Lincolnshire, who'd have thought?


There were lots of street dance groups who'd put loads of effort into their dancing and costumes.



The enormous Mister Tulip was there of course....



....as were Coventry Scout Band....



....the vintage bicycle group....


....(who had a new, junior member)....



....and a debut appearance from Darthy Baby.



The Simpsons float was pronounced the winner.



Even though a two metre Bart Simpson made of flower heads was a bit....odd.

More men in skirts followed....


With more Screen Heroes (this year's theme). And we finished with an updated Blues Brothers, which seemed very popular with the Dads. No idea why.


So we're looking forward to next year already, SEE YOU THERE!
