The parade was led by a steel band, followed by the eel, the dancers and the town criers.

I know the weather helped, but I would like to congratulate everybody who took part in the organisation of the event, and those who took part on the day.

I would also like to state that the rest of the Eel day on the Jubilee Gardens was excellent.
It is about time we gave recognition for something good.
