Montol's Eve Procession

On Montol's Eve in the town of Penzance, a group of people came together to celebrate the winter Solstice in the way of the old traditions. This involved a group of musicians all guised up, accompanied by many townsfolk and others carrying paper lanterns, and preceded by dancers and a banner. The procession moved through the town towards a field where a symbolic beacon was lit. Following some dancing and displays of juggling, the procession reformed and moved downhill to the harbour where a second beacon was lit. This was followed by more dancing and finally a pub crawl

Sadly as some bloke called the Doctor had away with my Tardis I was temporarily unable to time travel, therefore sorry not possible. I'm sure someone else will have clips tho'

All the best
