March for St George

The spectacular backdrop
of Dunster Castle and
village set the scene for
Sunday's St George's Day
parade when Scouts,
Guides, Brownies and Sea
Scouts joined hundreds of
onlookers to celebrate the
occasion.

The parade was led by the
Bideford Youth Pipe Band
and started from Dunster
Castle Green, through the
village to St George's
Church where a service
was held.

Organisers say this year's
turnout was sugnificantly
larger than last year with
St George's Church being
filled to capacity.

Scout District Chaplain
George Taylor led the
service and an address was
read by Shirley Harrington.

the Children's Hospice.
