Leith's got sunshine AND rain: Leith Gala Day 2009 (continued)
^^^ Above: Amnesty International activists handed out stickers as people
came in from the parade
"There's nothing I've been asked to do since being elected to the Lothians
region that's made me more proud than being Leith Provost for the day.
"I'm full of admiration for the work that goes into the festival, and it was clear
during the parade down Lochend Road that people still feel proud of a community
that's retained its independence." Margo Macdonald, Provost of Leith for
a day
