Previous Battles - 2004

They say that it never rains on Battle day, but, for a brief few minutes they were proved wrong this year by a sudden and torrential downpour. It did nothing to dampen spirits, however, and the ensuing sun soon dried out the costumes and the spectators, and everyone was treated to a parade of colour and design, amongst the twenty-four participating floats, that was the best yet. This year's experiment of a one-pass parade seemed to be well-accepted. The floats could also be seen on static display either in the Lower Park or the Waterfront Roof garden, with special Battle walks arranged around them. Another innovation this year was the commissioning of 'Battle Lines', a film compiled from archive footage of former Battles and Tourism promotional films, and screened all week at Cine World. This year's Miss Battle was Sophie Chaopradith who, with her Maid of Honour, Lucy Mason, brought extra grace and charm to both Parades.
