The parade then travelled along the seafront to St Mary in the Castle where the party continued all afternoon featuring a host of second line brass bands including Mr Wilson’s Second Liners, Dende and the irrepressible Dr Savage.
The fun continues this week with live music at the Nelson pub for Slim Monday with King Size Slim in concert and on Tuesday itself when bands will be playing sets in pubs all around the town.
