Many people can be seen along the Groves by the River Dee in Chester. Some pleasure boats are on the water and a seagull is flying above the water.

We do have some quirky and eye-catching parades here in Chester. Winter Watch is one of them, and it was brilliant to catch this, combined with the Saturnalia celebration, on Thursday evening ✨ 🎄 💀

A man takes a photo of the Eastgate Clock from the City Walls in Chester. A number of other people are beneath the clock on the walls, looking down over Eastgate.
