Jack in the Green - Hastings

We were fortunate enough to visit the Jack in the Green festival which had been held last year in Hastings. These are some pictures we took on the day. I felt especially moved by this parade of Jacks, their attendants, pucks and morris dancers. Eventhough most of them, no doubt, did it for fun, the mere fact that something so very ancient (in my mind, at least) still existed and took place for all the public to join in on, really blew me away. We had a brilliant time and everyone got "greened" on the day. It is a pity that for some reason this year - 2005 - it had not been held.
