Flights of Fancy with Granny Flo
This float was originally St George and the Dragon built in 1993.
In 2008 it was redesigned as Granny Flo to celebrate the storytelling grandmothers who pass on Pageant tradition. She wears her pearls to the Pageant, as pearls of wisdom are worn on a special day.
There is still fire in her yet, as she billows smoke along the journey surrounded by young travellers. The refurbishment of the float was by artist Jill Halliday.
Once Upon a Story Book
Celebrating the tradition of fantasy and fairytales, this float was built in 2008 and designed by Gary Lee Gaston.
This beautiful float has some amazing moving effects, see if you can count them.
There are mice running out of one book and into another to the whistle of the pied piper; a monkey chasing the weasel, a fox chasing the ginger bread man; hickory dickory dock with a mouse bouncing on the clock and other story book characters.
