The Greatest Team Parade recap
The Pandemonium Drummers certainly had a fantastic day celebrating Team GB's and Paralympic GB's achievements.
After being featured on BBC Breakfast and Sky News, many drummers refused to leave Trafalgar Square and were assigned their own little enclosure for the rest of the day in a prime position to watch the proceedings and drum for the crowds.
A number of drummers had won tickets for the grandstands on the Mall. Luckily a day before the event, it was confirmed that drums could be brought along, which is what the Mall drummers did. Other volunteer groups welcomed the additional entertainment and were amazed that the drumming went on non-stop, before, during and after the parade.
And a third large group assembled near the start of the parade at Mansion House, which turned out to be a brilliant move, as this group managed to join the back of the official parade and therefore marched on to Buckingham Palace.
Photos from the event are available from our Facebook page, and the videos below capture the atmosphere nicely.
