WATCH: Thousands show national pride in West Bromwich St George's Day parade

Crowds gathered in Westminster Road, West Bromwich, for the start of the annual procession, which went for two miles from the Stone Cross starting point to Dartmouth Park on Sunday.

Mark Cowles, one of the organisers, said approximately 10,000 people took part in the parade, led off by motorcyclists from the Royal British Legion and followed by the Northfields Caledonian Pipe Band.

Many were decked out in the red and white of the St George flag.

Once they arrived at the park, there was a host of family events to keep people entertained, including Pat Collins' fun fair, children's entertainment, face painting, craft fairs and Anglo-Saxon re-enactments.

Mr Cowles said: "It was a very jubilant event. It really was a fantastic day at the park. It was a really good and well-organised event." As well as the fairs, there were also inflatables, hawk displays and a visit by the air ambulance.

The procession has been going for 18 years. Mr Cowles added: "There were lots of families there and children from different communities. I don't think we have had one better for many years."

Residents along the parade route also played their part by hanging out bunting for the

revellers and Mr Cowles said the turnout was proof it was England's biggest St George's Day parade.
