This
year's Battle is promising to be as successful as previous events,
with 30 floats taking part. The main spectacle - the parade along
the avenue - will once again be full of colour and sound.
Along
with the floats, Miss Battle will be a focal point of the parade.
This year, Hannah Tully has been crowned, and will be greeting the
crowds accompanied by Tracey de Castro, her Maid of Honour.
The
Battle of Flowers parade takes place on Thursday 14th August, and
is followed on Friday 15th by the Moonlight Parade.
