The Whitsuntide procession in Manchester
signed 'HELEN BRADLEY' and with a fly (lower right) and inscribed "Father said, "I want you all ready by the time/Ive brought the car round, we're all going to have/lunch with Uncle John in his new Bungalow./" I will collect Miss Carter (who wore Pink) and Mr./Taylor (the Bank Manger), then we'll be off." We were soon/ready and on our way to Manchester, but there was/one thing we had all forgotten - that today was Whit Friday Of course, when we got to Piccadilly we had to stop/the Whitsuntide Walk was just coming along. It/was a most wonderful procession. There were Bands/and Banners and everyone wore their new clothes. The procession went on and on and Father/began to get very cross. We all thought of Uncle John/wondering what had happened to us, and Poor/Aunt Josephine trying to keep our dinner warm, but/it was no use, we had to wait and then slowly drive/behind until we came to Kingsway and the year/was 1917."
