Later, despite the inhospitable weather, a good crowd turned out to see thirteen floats and two marching bands. Jim Eaton (chairperson), although not in the best of health led the parade accompanied by his wife, June (vice-chairperson) and Maureen Allsop (treasurer.)

The mayor and his wife followed in an open topped vintage car.

The parade included the lifeboat and the fire brigade.
