A strong police presence couldn’t put a dampener on the day, with saw 40 floats parade around the park.

This year’s parade saw the route begin at Old Bedford Road, make a turn at Stockingstone Road before meeting the finish line at New Bedford Road, where a host of judges eagerly awaited their arrival.

And in the park, there were dozens of fairground rides and foodstalls that stayed open until 6pm.
