Armed Forces Day at Cleethorpes 2017. Parade Pictures.

A few pictures from the parade, as usual, I got a bad spot so this is just a short sample of what I saw on the day.

Before the parade, a view of our promenade & Pier.  I have a friend in the USA that 
will recognise this pier.

The parade formed up in the Market Place, a few bits of equipment laid about.




Army |Cadets arriving, perfectly in step and well turned out.

Veterans arrive, always immaculate.

Armoured division going down to the Market Place.

After the parade we enjoyed music played by the RAF College Band. 
SUPER!

Saxilby and the Foss Navigation Canal (2nd visit this year)

The Village of Saxilby in Lincolnshire.  The Foss Navigation Canal runs through it.


Canal boats on the canal.

A tiller mascot on one of the narrow boats.




Traditional "Barge Art" known as "Castles & Roses".


Good advise on the side of a narrow boat.

Quite a good name.

Grow bags on the upper deck.


All pictures taken on my Olympus EM10 Mk2 with my new lens, a Leica 12 - 60mm zoom.

Finally done testing lenses, this is the one for me.
