Description: This video records the Chestnut Sunday Parade in Bushy Park featuring horse drawn carriages carrying passengers many of whom are in costume. There are carriages for Harrods, Youngs Brewery, Bracknell Forest Borough Council and the Royal Parks. The carriages are followed by a marching band of children, cyclists on antique bikes, horse riders and the Mayors official car. The procession comes to a halt in Bushy Park, and awards, including trophies and rosettes, are presented to some of the carriage drivers, horse riders and cyclists. There follows a number of displays including equestrian formation riding, girls dancing around a maypole, a marching band, bagpipers, a men's gymnastic display, a martial arts presentation, a Punch & Judy puppet show, and various carnival games stalls.
