We had a lovely evening supporting Fratton Big Local with their parade as part of the We Shine Portsmouth festivities.

Katie stepped up to the role of volunteer coordinator and expertly had us dishing out lanterns to the parade attendees.

We all managed to get through the parade with our hearing intact despite close proximity to the brilliant battala band. Aoife Rachel and Katie had some fabulous ship lanterns, whilst Chris and I were very privileged to carry the veteran lantern, the Fratton Fox.
