Omnibus

This Old (1920s) Open Topped Omnibus is Beautiful Decorated with Hundreds of of Tri-coloured Balloons.

Irish Dancers

The Girls are having a Little Trouble with the Stockings while holding a Hand Tambourine. The very large Green Hats keep the Sun out of their Eyes.

The Marchers.

These Flag Bearers are Marching Ahead of the Band, they are as good as any soldiers. They all have white gloves which compliments their white shirts a smart uniform.

The Catholic Club.

The Date when this Catholic Club was inaugurated (1882) gives you an Idea just how long the Irish have been in Manchester. The Potato Famine hit Ireland very hard. So they came to Britain or went to America. To get away from the Famine. This very colourful float does them credit. They have never forgotten the old country.

Dancing Lasses.

Eat your heart out David Flatly. These Girls are Good at Irish Dancing and Deserve the Big Applause that they got.

Irish Owned Float.

This Irish Float has lots of Green Balloons and is Transporting the Older Population who are to old to walk the course.

More Vintage Tractors

The First Tractor is obviously an Old Massey Ferguson. It looks as though the Irish get to love their Working Tools. What ever is said about the Irish they have never been afraid of Hard Work.
