I saw the full formation circling around afterwards (from the Glamorgan area). Not sure why they didn't do the full formation earlier.
And as a random aside, who were the medieval Jesus folk right before the start of the parade? They were marching along in costumes and being fairly evangelical. There were a tonne of police on mountain bikes right behind them and seemed to be keeping them moving. Although there were a lot of sanctioned "warm-up" performers doing various things, there seemed to be a different vibe about these people. Could it be possible that they were uninvited guests and were crashing the parade? Perhaps they were supposed to be there, but something about it just seemed odd.
And no, I'm not being anti-religious. But I would much rather have an identifiable church group who is involved in the community instead of some costumed people rambling on about Jesus.
