In Pictures: Bands parade through Warwick to mark first anniversary with friendship town

The parade event took place on Saturday May 9, celebrating Warwick’s connection with its friendship town of Hérouville Saint-Clair in Normandy.

The Hérouville Brass Band played alongside the Warwick Corps of Drums in the market square, at the Lord Leycester and Warwick Castle, marching between the venues.

The Warwick Community Band also joined the performances in the market square.

More than 70 musicians from France and Warwick took part in the event.

On the Sunday, members of the Hérouville Brass Band and Warwick Corps of Drums were invited back to the Lord Leycester for more musical performances, as well as a show put on by Warwick’s Slaughterhouse Players.
