I learn something every time. All these you shared made me want to be there to see in person. I will get to England in future and to these neighborhoods you teach us about. History is everything. It must be remembered and told. Thank you always for peoples stories of days past. And their photos. to see their faces.

thank you

The nearest we got was a camcorder (remember those?) and a compact camera in the first pic.

If anyone goes to this parade nowadays all you see is a crowd of people holding up their mobiles to capture the scene for – well – prosperity I suppose!

l hopped over from Spitalfields Nativity procession onto this page to see the colourful Bengali parade.
Thanks to Jeanette l now learn the
French for our common DAISY is Marguerite.
Moreover having loved and grown the bigger white or purple Margaritas in patio pots, l’d never associated the fairy like DAISIES on the lawn as being the miniature of my favourites.

Wonderful photo of the daisies in the dappled shadows of the tree.
One imagines they may light up at night when the streets are deserted.
