Sunday
14th: I joined people from Manchester Social Group for a look around
the sixth annual Manchester Day Parade,
a celebration of all things Mancunian. There's a little about the
tradition here.
For
the last 2 years I've dropped by on my own to see what's happening
and take a few pictures and shoot some video. This time I was with
others, thanks again to the Meetup site.
The
Manchester Evening News has a few more pictures
here.
A
very eclectic and original parade. Around the city centre there were
a number of events taking place. We ventured to Albert Square outside
the Town Hall and saw an impressive display from a troupe of youth aerial silk acrobats.
We
rounded the day off with a burger in Byron on Deansgate (my suggestion),
which allowed a chance to get to know the group a little more and
swap events ideas. (Oh, and they loved the food.)
Good
to be doing it with some people for once. They were a good crowd too.
