TO celebrate the start of spring and the end of a gloomy winter, a bonnet parade has been organised at a popular Worcester Park.

Residents of the St John's sheltered accommodation complex, off St Clement's Close, St John's, and some of their grandchildren, have been busy making the headwear for the Celebration of Spring event at Cripplegate Park, off Tybridge Street, this Saturday.

The event, organised by the Friends of Cripplegate Park, will take place from 1.30pm.

There will also be an orienteering activity from 2pm and refreshments will be on sale.

All the money raised will go to the Friends' funds.
