Audrey, licensee of the Boy & Barrel, one of the oldest pubs in the centre of Bradford, helping out with the Yorkshire Air Ambulance collection at the Wrose Carnival on Saturday.

White Horse

This beautiful white horse took part in the Lord Mayors Carnival Parade last week.  The owner of the horse was also at the Naqshbandia Parade the previous week although I did not immediately recognise him as he was wearing a coachman's uniform at that event.  I will post a picture of the carriage and horses in a day or two.

Carnival Queen

I sometimes arrive early when there is a big event on in the town centre and just have a wander around. I had initially thought that this figure was Count Dracula.  I had approached from the direction the picture was taken from and didn't realise that it was actually the Queen until I went around to the front.   I  believe that the platform was raised during the Carnival celebrations on Saturday, but I actually missed this part of the event.

Mortal Orchestra - Carnival Parade

These giant musicians and opera singers took part in the Mayor's Carnival Parade yesterday, sixteen foot tall and quite impressive I thought, these two youngsters weren't too sure though, they didn't seem to want to go any closer.

Lord Mayor's Carnival Parade - Bradford 2012

Over 1300 schoolchildren took part in the Lord Mayor's Carnival Parade today.  The theme this year was the Queen's Diamond Jubilee so there was plenty of red white and blue on show.  I took this picture from the top of the pavilion as the head of procession made a circuit of the mirror pool and then proceeded to the city centre via Centenary Square.
