Gala Day and the crowds gather in Milton Court.
First item on the programme, the competition for the best group in the parade.

Mr Tucker checks off the Breakspear Shakespeare Character group members.
(Can you work out the clever rhebus?)
Then it's time for some group photographs.

Time for the judging - third place this year.
(Never mind, many of us made up for the disappointment 
in the individual fancy dress competition later!)

Then, while we were waiting for the parade to move off ...

The heavens opened and the rain came down.
Maypole dances dived under umbrellas...
as did Miss Hall.
