A TROLLEYBUS which was one of the last to operate in South Bank was guest of honour in a parade to celebrate the town's 150th anniversary.
The parade also included floats, a Scottish pipes and drums band, Irish and Indian dance troupes, and African singers.
It travelled along Normanby Road from the market place to St Peter's school field where a carnival was taking place.
It was organised by South Bank Tomorrow, an umbrella organisation funded by the Single Regneration Budget, which brings together all the regeneration projects working in the town.
Graham Hubbard, chairman of South Bank Tomorrow, said: "We are delighted with the support we had in pulling this event together. Everyone has recognised the role South Bank has played in the industrial, sporting and social history of the area and agree it is worth celebrating."
