After a long three years, Manchester Day has returned with a bang, a shimmy and plenty of buzz. Thousands crowded along Deansgate to celebrate everything about Manchester - and what a party it was.
After setting off at the crossroads with Liverpool Road, the parade snaked its way up to the top of Deansgate, before turning on to St Mary's Gate (where Marks and Spencer is). It then turned right onto Cross Street, past the Royal Exchange Theatre and King Street, before turning right onto John Dalton Street and then back down Deansgate where it finished at around 2.30pm.
From the Queen Bee leading the Parade to the bouncing babies in their oversized pram, nothing could top the incredible atmosphere of a city that has come together following numerous lockdowns and the COVID pandemic. The theme was ‘Our Year’, and focussed on the children and young people of Greater Manchester, who’ve helped bring the day into fruition.
