VG sees 'youthful' Easter Monday Parade
The small procession, marshalled by Easter Festival Honouree Mr Berton Creque and included the various queens, princes and princesses, made its way from the Bregado Flax Educational Centre sometime after 2:00 PM, braving the sun, to Berton Creque Festival Village.
Spectators along the way were particularly entertained by choreographed dances by the youthful Virgin Islands Priders, ESHS Rhythmic Rams, BVI Dance School's Senior and Junior Teams, and VISTS.
Other entries included Little Lix Bay Revelers, De Lytes Festival Troupe, and the breathtaking moko jumbies.
Also in the parade was a float dedicated to Ninth District Representative Honourable Vincent O Wheatley, who was mostly seen mingling with spectators along the way.
VIP-sponsored float
The VIP-sponsored float included Premier and Minister of Finance Dr the Honourable Natalio D. Wheatley (R7), Minister for Communications and Works Honourable Kye M. Rymer (R5), Junior Minister for Culture and Tourism Hon Luce D. Hodge-Smith (R4) and First District Representative Honourable Karl Dawson.
The elected representatives, along with members of the VIP, were seen handing out water, beverages and confectioneries.
Junior Minister for Financial Services and Economic Development Honourable Lorna G. Smith, OBE, along with her husband, former Premier D. Orlando Smith, OBE, also made the journey to the sister island for the parade but was not a part of the VIP-sponsored float.
Also spotted at the parade, in a spectator capacity, was Opposition Leader Hon Myron V. Walwyn (R6).
Following the parade, it was time for stage show entertainment, which started with live bands.
