They covered three days but the main event, the March Past Parade,
was on the Saturday.
 |
The Armed Forces Event is the busiest of the year at Cleethorpes and always
attracts a big crowd.
|
 |
| People where in place early to get a good spot to view the parade. |
 |
| 3 residents waiting for the start. |
 |
A couple of ladies dressed for the occasion as Land Army Girls, they kindly
allowed me to photograph them.
|
 |
| People were out to enjoy the weather and entertainment. |
 |
| Still waiting. |
 |
| The Land Army girls had been joined by two more. |
 |
| Parade time and the flags are out. |
 |
| Heading the parade are a mounted contingent from the Royal Lancers. |
 |
| Various armoured vehicles. |
 |
| The RAF Band. |
 |
| I think these are Military Police? |
 |
| The RAF Pipe Band. |
 |
| Flags and marchers from various branches of the Royal British Legion. |
I took more Photo's and will post them in the next blog post
to follow soon.
