The Black Prince Flower Boat Procession
The Black Prince Procession is a Mayday custom in the villages of Millbrook, Kingsand and Cawsand. It takes place on Mayday bank holiday which this year (2008) is the 5th of May. The procession starts in Millbrook in the morning then moves to Kingsand and ends up on the beach at Cawsand where a model boat, The Black Prince, bedecked in flowers is floated out to sea to say goodbye to the harsh weather of Winter and welcome in the warm Summer weather. The procession is seen here gathering outside the Rising Sun pub in Kingsand.

The Black Prince Procession gathering outside the Rising Sun
The procession is led by a model boat, The Black Prince, carried 'shoulder high' by ratings from the nearby HMS Raleigh. Others on the parade include town criers, morris dancers, musicians, shanty singers and local villagers and children, many wearing the traditional colours for the parade of red and white.

Heavitree Road, Kingsand
The twin (and seamlessly merged) villages of Kingsand and Cawsand have many narrow lanes, but the one seen here, Heavitree Road, is one of the narrowest. It runs downhill from Kingsway roughly parallel with The Green.
