SX4350 : The Black Prince Flower Boat Procession
near to Cawsand, Cornwall, Great Britain
The Black Prince Flower Boat Procession
The Black Prince Procession is a Mayday custom in the villages of Millbrook, Kingsand and Cawsand. It takes place on Mayday bank holiday which this year (2008) is the 5th of May. The procession starts in Millbrook in the morning then moves to Kingsand and ends up on the beach at Cawsand where a model boat, The Black Prince, bedecked in flowers is floated out to sea to say goodbye to the harsh weather of Winter and welcome in the warm Summer weather. The procession is seen here gathering outside the Rising Sun pub in Kingsand.
