Today the town was blessed with dry weather and blue skies as children filed out of school and headed to the Foreshore to join in the fun. The council close Foreshore Road each year to allow children and their parents to flood the streets and take part in this joyous tradition. Take a look at this year's fun with these 14 pictures.
