Godiva Carnival Procession 2010

The Godiva Festival is something that Coventry can be well and truly proud of. I always look forward to the procession ( nowadays known as the Godiva Carnival Procession ) which has its roots in the old Godiva procession's dating back hundreds of years.

As Coventry has changed so has the procession. In my younger days the floats were from the factories of the city. Nowadays we don't have any left so the talented bods from Imagineer Productions are instrumental in the modern displays. This years main theme concerned caring for our planet (before it is too late) and contrasted the globalisation fat cats and their greed with the destruction of wildlife and the environment. The addition of more marching bands certainly improved the parade this year. A big well done to all concerned.
