Blind Dave and Mad Mac return at 2.00pm on 16th April for their open top bus parade around West Bromwich.

*Update*

A little later than planned the open-top bus pulled into West Bromwich High Street.  This was definitely a whistle-stop tour as the bus was travelling at a fair speed for a victory parade.  Luckily we managed to get a few photos as they sped past.
