Procession

Day 66

26 July 2009

The Carnival procession took place this afternoon.

It rained a bit. Unlike last year, when there was bright blue skies and sunshine through the afternoon. Unlike last year, the coastguard and RNLI weren't called out just as the procession was about to start.

The Bournemouth Carnival band entertaining the crowd.

It's certainly an experience to watch a large group of men (and a few women too) dressed as Spiderman. They were good, actually, and especially entertaining for the kids.

I think these are professional carnival procession-ees. They had a Notting-Hill-ish vibe about them!
