When a lantern parade goes nasty
By Tilly Barrie
When we were kids growing up we were not allowed to go out and watch lantern parade because our parents told us it was for grownups. So we would ask our older cousins to explain to us what had gone on during the parade and which lantern had come tops.
The other thing we did was to go to the iconic Congo Town to watch the lantern under construction by a man called Ade, now of blessed memory. And we were quite satisfied with that.
