This year the parade was raising money for mayor Marjorie Smallcorn’s chosen charities – Footprints – Down Syndrome Support, Raynaud’s and Scleroderma Association and The Rowans Hospice.

‘I even had a ride in a 1924 open-topped Austin.
‘Every year this event gets a little bit bigger. It was incredible.’
