Today, the annual Beeston Carnival took place in a mixture of sunshine and showers. A wide mix of events was on offer throughout the day, ranging from bands and dancing, to lucky dips and a barbecue.
My photo shows the local pipe band leading the marching from Beeston Square to Broadgate Park. It was a bit of a squeeze, as the local council are creating some new seating areas, and a lot of the High Road is blocked off with fencing.
Hope they didn't have to squeeze past any 'A' boards...
ReplyDeleteNice photo, but they don't look very happy. I guess it's hard to smile though with one of those things in your mouth.
Magnificient, musical, marching men make magical music & merriment! Great photo
ReplyDeleteAlways great to see a Marching Band GM.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the email, your card will be posted Monday.
Great way to start the event. The Council here stopped the Lions Carnival a few years ago on grounds of Health and Safety! Sad.
ReplyDeleteThey look very handsome in their costumes — I hope they sound as good as they look.
ReplyDeleteExcellent title. I can't stand bagpipes considering I'm descended from Campbells. Sound like a hoover having a nervous breakdown.
