The group’s members were supporting Water Aid at the event. The float contained hand-made clouds, a campfire, a well made from plastic milk bottles, scarecrows, waterfalls and raindrops.

A Soroptimist spokeswoman said: “The weather was wonderful and the crowds came out in their hundreds. Thank you to Gary from Wilbys Transport who loaned the wagon and driver.”
