The Jersey Battle of Flowers Parade 2006 began with a slightly overcast sky and a little cooler than in previous years. This year we had 28 floats parading, all of which were of a very high standard.
With the introduction of “Goody Bags” and more of a Carnival Atmosphere prevailing the whole day did not disappoint the array of spectators taking in this annual floral extravaganza.
Murray Norton was again commentating and did a magnificent job by involving the crowds and making sure a good time was had by all.
This years Miss Battle was 18yrs old Sinnead Brennan who was joined on her float by Miss Junior Battle of Flowers Katie Labey. Both girls did themselves very proud and looked absolutely stunning in their beautiful dresses.
Everyone’s hard work and enthusiasm made Battle a bigger and better parade than ever before. We look forward to your return in 2007 to do it all over again.
