Victoria Day Parade, 24th May
Still couldn't resist breakfast at Denny's so off we went, not realising they had put a parade on for us and even got the 'big guns' out!
We were lucky in that the parade congregated around Denny's corner...
On the opposite side of the street was the Mayfair Shopping Mall where even the Canadian Mounties were on display...
Once the bands got out of the shopping mall, turned left at the corner on to Highway 1 or Douglas Street and started off for downtown, they started their sequences... spins and turns - some going one way some going another! (basically all should be going to the right of the snap)
Mum, fully refreshed after breakfast looks on in appreciation...
I guess some kids just got tired of waiting their turn, although the bus never did show....
This group even relaxed in formation!
Two ladies from the Cadillac Club, need I say more....
Ah! One of the mounties asking the boss for some direction me thinks....
Pretty large shopping trolley Eh!
All the police on duty had things under control... this is Andy from Cornwall, told me Blackpool had won through to the Premiership..... must be strong coffee in that flask!
There goes another band, with another set of girls going the wrong way for a while...
Anyway, that's the end of the parade, fitting that it's a car going both ways!

These guys were representing a dance club - but not quite 'come dancing' standard...

A bit like 'where's Wally', but Mum is in the crowd...
