Saturday
June 7th 2008 was the date of this years Burgess Hill
Summer Festival's 'Town Day'
The theme this year was storybook characters or whatever
people could be bothered to wear.
Here are some of the highlights from the parade in picture
form.
Burgess
Hill town crier Neil Batsford lead the parade, sadly
he's not living up to his reputation as no tears are
on offer.
Here is
the mayor showing off his necklace whilst councillor
Anne Jones shows her class in this lovely outfit.
The
Burgess Hill Marching Youth band should check the
birth certificates of some of their members!
This Crocodile
was extremely realistic looking and therefore very
scary indeed.
It was shocking to discover
that Noddy has breasts.
This childs 'Cat in
a Hat' costume was amazing, shame about his silly
looking adult guardian.
This lady
was able to have a day off from shaving as her pirate
costume required a beard.
Your eyes
are not decieving you, this years parade actually
featured a float!
Children
from St Andrews Church was dressed as animals from
Noah's Ark.
Following
their Thunderbird theme from 2007, the District Lions
made another great effort with a Wizard of Oz theme.
The Kangeroo
from Kidi Karu day care nursery once again made an
appearance, still not a patch on Gordon the Gorilla!
This silly
young lady was dressed as Minnie Mouse. Sadly there
was no sign of Micky, Pluto or Donald.
This car
looks like a posh black version of children's television
favourite Brum.
Alarmingly
Snow White and her older fancy man were without any
sort of safety harnesses.
A Mini
Cooper. Not a patch on a Mk3 Ford Fiesta.
An old
black car with a grey haired old woman passenger.
A car.
Another
car.
Yet another
car
Thankfully
the shambollic addition of cars to the parade was
saved due to the appearance of this English police
car!
