In front of the Town Hall and Chester Cathedral bands entertained the public
before the parade got under way.
A feature of this all day event was the parade of 60 giants with marching bands, singers and entertainers. When the parade started it was a spectacle not to be missed.
Bathed in bright Summer sunshine the crowds came out to enjoy this unique event.
Giant after Giant paraded past the Chester Rows of this old Roman City center.
The images show what a successful day the Chester Giants event was with beautiful weather and a bumper crowd making the hard work of the teams well worth the effort.
