50th Spalding Flower Parade - the last one ever!

Filmed by us using two camera crews, this was the last ever Spalding Flower Parade. After 50 years, it was, for some reason, no longer viable and as a result, a great loss to Spalding
Sit back and enjoy some nostalgia

I got a group of friends on stilts to join the parade, we where at the front just behind the lead speaker van.
7:45 unlike another group of stilt walker how only did the last half and jump onto a lorry at time we walked the whole thing and walked back from the football ground to Springfields !? LOL

What a shame it's been stopped. Was an important part of Spalding, used to draw loads of people from all over the World.

We had small one in 2014 that was just in the gardens in Springfields, trying to keep it going !?

Great coverage, ruined by yellow jackets everywhere. What year was this video taken?

And Hats of to Spalding YFC. The only organisation to have built a float for every parade using volunteer labour.
