Its that time of year again, Up Helly Aa 2017. The event went without a hitch, at least from our stand point! Not even the (standard) wind and rain could dampen the enthusiasm. Here's a few pictures of the event.
Lighting up the torches.
Ready for the off
Marching
The line of torches.
Moving in to the play park, yes, they burn the galley in the town play park!
This year for the first time the wife and a few friends attended the Halls after, where the various squads come and perform a little sketch and everyone consumes a vast quantity of alcohol. The wife got home fairly early, half 4, but the halls don't close till 8am.
