St Patrick's Day Parade - Piccys 1

On Saturday 17th March, Nottingham held 8th St Patrick's Day Parade. Setting out from the Forest Ground at noon, down the Mansfield Road, to the shinny new Market Square.

This was the first public event to take advantage of these new facilities.

I think much bigger than last year, with probably about 5000 attending, and a jolly time had by all ....
