Took these during the CNY Parade in Manchester Chinatown. Rained pretty heavily but it stop the moment the firecrackers which signal the start of the parade went off!

This is my first time being able to "cover" an event like this so all comments appreciated!

I was lucky that I was able to run around the parade and take photos and no one seek to ask me if I had a pass to do that! Maybe cos they say my monopod and tripod sticking out of my bag and just assumed that I was one of the pro photogs running around............
