The parade featured two marching bands; namely the Sean Treacy Pipe Band and the C J Kickham Brass Band.

The Goodness Of God
I love You, Lord, For Your mercy never fails me, All my days, I’ve been held in Your hands, From the moment that I wake up, Til I lay my head, Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God.
Chorus.
Though my life, You have been faithful Though my life, You have been so, so good With every breath that I am able Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God.
I love Your voice, You have led me through the fire, In darkest nights, You are close like no other. I’ve known You as a father, I’ve known You as a friend, And I have lived in the goodness of God.
Repeat Chorus.
Your goodness is running after, running after me. Your goodness is running after, running after me. With my life laid down, I surrender now, I give You everything. Oh Lord Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me. Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me. With my life laid down, I surrender now, I give You everything, Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me.
