Sound: VE Day parade in Dunedin
VE Day parade in Dunedin.
Transcript
[Sound of bagpipe band playing]
That's the Dunedin Highland Pipe Band that you can hear playing, and they're just turning down towards the Octagon now. It has often been said that Dunedin is the dour Scotch city, but there's been nothing of dourness about it on this occasion as the people have let themselves go properly. It started on Tuesday, and the enthusiasm is still running high. On Tuesday the streets were littered with confetti and coloured papers of all sorts. There's been a great display of bunting.
