Orange blossoms in annual Parade

More than 500 road patrollers from around the Western Bay of Plenty paraded through Tauranga CBD in the annual Orange Day Parade last week. The parade was not only a thank-you for this year’s road patrollers but was also designed to raise awareness of road safety around schools. The Orange Day Parade celebrates the important contribution students have made to road safety within their school communities throughout the year. Photographer John Borren went along to capture the colour of the event.
