What is so special about Ulverston I hear you cry?

Well, several things I reply.

Firstly, this ..........

Image

Yup! Laurel & Hardy. It is the birthplace of Stan Laurel.

Also it has a lovely Carnival

Image

the 'Carnival Master' at the head of the procession (following a Police van)

Image

Then the first band

Image

then the Mountain Rescue
Image

the Coastguard
Image

Rambo
Image

Dance troupe
Image

the drumming band

Image

a pipe band
Image

the Carnival Queen on a flat bed pony cart (it had to stop until all of the proceeding events had reached the top of the hill and then take a run at it - apparently it failed to get up the hill in one go last year when it stopped half way up :oops: )

Image

a dray from the local brewery
Image

then the Dragon (it has the replica of a lighthouse on its nose which is a memorial on the hill overlooking the town and is its emblem)

Image

the dragon was lead by a penny whistler and a drummer

Image

I know it was a dragon 'cos it was dragon its tail on the road. :wink:
Image

the procession went up the hill and then came back into the centre of the town by another road and I managed to get all of the entrants again.

NO I AM NOT GOING TO POST ALL OF THEM AGAIN.

The only photo of this second lot that I amgoing to add here is the Fire Engine with a 'clown' driving it with a dog as co-pilot.

Image

That's Ulverston as we saw it.
