The 15th Glasgow West End festival took place in 2010, with the Mardi Gras parade being held on 13 June in Kelvingrove Park. Great fun.

| The Falun Gong stall was one of the first to greet you as you came into a very busy Kelvin Way. I wish them well, but if you have kids with you be warned - their leaflets may contain graphic photos of mutilated bodies |

| The start of the parade |
 |
| Enlarged this from previous pic - love the hoop frame, a tondo |
 |
| One of the more surprising turns - the Wellcome Trust Centre for Molecular Parasitology |
 |
| Not sure what the box was about - a reference to Pandora's Box - as in a then current episode of Dr Who? |
 |
| The water supply - much needed |

| End of parade |

| Concert |
 |
| The parade ended up at Park Circus under the imperious view of Lord Roberts of Kandahar |
 |
| Lord Roberts actually belonged to an older India than his imperial statue may suggest - he was probably of Indian descent on his mum's side |
 |
| This guy was one of the best 'living statues' I've seen |
 |
| Off on a water quest I found the statue getting frisky |
 |
| Wee boys being wee boys |
 |
| These two stood by the stage taking pics of each other's hidden faces - there must be a web niche for Veilbook surely |
 |
 |
| The dogs bark, and the statues move on. Class act this guy |
 |
| As the day closed. rain began falling in slow drifts |
 |
| The morning after |
