Padiham on Parade

Post by Quickenthetempo » Sat Jun 29, 2019 10:04 am

What a lovely weekend it is for the 1940s themed armed forces celebration weekend in Padiham.

If you're looking for something to do with the family get yourself down. It's a superb event in the centre of Padiham.

Have to say it looked very impressive last night when I went through on the way to the cricket with all the Union Jacks flying throughout the town centre and up the hill towards Memorial Park.

Certainly got the weather for it this weekend and hope it's a great event.

Looks like they’re filming a UKIP Party Political Broadcast. Every year, without fail.

The volunteers do an amazing job on the town every year.

Even a free Benedictine tent for everyone to sample.

Padiham harking back to the 1940s. Literally changing nothing.

A great day out, Quickenthetempo.

Padiham at it's resplendent finest and beautiful weather. We did the Bridge and the Flying Dutchman and entertainment was excellent in each.

Don't miss the parade tomorrow morning and plane fly over.

The Prosecco and Ginception van looked to be doing well in memorial park at the bandstand. Glorious setting today with entertainment.

Your list makes it sound as though you think Vera Lyn was worse than Auschwitz, Hitler and polio! :)

I've been told the fly past was cancelled due to technical difficulties.

Tesco ran out of bread for the locals to throw for it.
