Snapped: Great War Street Party

On Saturday 9th of August, Swindon town centre played host to the Great War Street Party, part of the WW1 centenary commemorations. TGtS were there to snap this fantastic event. Feast your eyes...

This street party was a particularly special one, as a centenary celebration ony comes once every hundred years, so it is expected that this was one that went all out. Wharf Green was draped in Union Flag bunting and poppies, the air was filled with the unmistakable sound of vintage instruments, and the stage was set with some special dance performances, all while the attendees were sipping cups of tea and enjoying the celebrationary atmosphere. As parties go, this one was a brilliant way of acknowledging the sacrifices of the many Swindonians who fought for us, and showing that even after a hundred years, their memory still shines.

 

If you weren't able to attend this once in lifetime event, then luckily for you we have a collection of photos that'll go a long way in showing you the party's brilliance...
