Time to enter Liberation Cavalcade
ENTRY forms are now live for the Liberation Day Cavalcade, with organisers keen to see as many people as possible take part.
There will be a mix of military and vintage vehicles as well as floats of all sizes joining the parade for the 75th anniversary.
Head of marketing and events for Education, Sport & Culture Nikki Symons said: ‘We would like to encourage as many family and friends, community groups and local businesses to come together and take part in the 75th Anniversary Cavalcade. Together we can make it the best one ever.’
The Liberation Day Cavalcade was first staged on 9 May 1946 and continued until 1950.
There was then no cavalcade for 20 years until the idea was revived in the 1970s by a group of local historians and businessmen.
An enhanced Liberation Cavalcade has been held every five years since 1975.
Entry to the cavalcade is free of charge and the form can be downloaded from www.liberationday.gg.
The deadline is 31 March 2020.
All entries can compete for the Cecil de Sausmarez Memorial Trophy for the best overall float.
The Guernsey Military Vehicle Cavalcade will be departing from L’Ancresse, travelling along the coast to St Peter Port.
The cavalcade will form a static display at North Beach car park.
