Thousands of people have enjoyed this year’s Battle of Flowers parades in town.

The parade, which was free this year, gathered thousands of islanders and holidaymakers. 

A scaled-down version of the celebration was needed, keeping the tradition alive after fears this year's event would be cancelled completely.

The parade circled through town, so it required smaller floats, but designers refused to let their imaginations be dimmed by size requirements.
