Parade day was a real summer blockbuster

The colourful procession made its way through town on Saturday, bringing the world of the silver screen vividly 
to life.

And judges Steven Watkins, deputy mayor, Ann Walsh and Jon and Lynn Picton had a tough time deciding on the winners!

The prize winning walkers were the Wizard of Oz, Disney Princesses, Willy Wonka, Grease and St Trinians.
