The centre of York is set to turn once again into a spectacular sea of colour, waving flags, marching children – and the sound of marching bands on Sunday (April 21).
Thousands of children are set to take part in the afternoon’s annual scouts’ and guides’ St George’s Day Parade.
They are set to assemble at the Eye of York at 1pm, before marching off to the Minster at about 1.20pm for a service.
The parade - which was first held in 1943 - marks its 80th anniversary last year.
