With beautiful weather, all ran very smoothly. Starting with breakfast at the Legion the Parade, led by Doveholes Brass Band and made up of Parwich and other Odd Fellows, Wirksworth Army Cadets, the Brownies and local people made its way first to Parwich Hall. Here Charlie Fern outlined the history od St. George from early legends via his becoming Patron Saint of England in 1350 and via the Battle of Agincourt and much more upto his role with the Armed Forces and the Boy Scouts.
The St. George’s Day Service was taken by the Rev Andy Larkin, with Colin Sims talking on the 100th Anniversary of ANZAC Day (the Gallipoli Landings), Rachel Robinson Reading the lesson and the Vicar preaching on the text of ‘The Good Shepherd’.
The Parade moved on round the village with some much appreciated hospitality stops, before finishing again at the Legion for the barbecue.
