Old King Coal come rain or shine
Just a short addition to Paul’s last posting marking the end of the festival of Transport. Below are a few images from the weekends Old King Coal Even and Banner parades.
Unfortunately Saturday turned out cold and wet but today made up for it with some glorious sun shine, with a few photos to prove it!
Many thanks to all of the local banner groups and bands for making the event look so good.
