Liverpool Giants (WWI Centenary Commemoration & Liverpool Biennial 2014) , Day 3 of 3, Video 2 of 4

The Liverpool 2014 Giant Spectacular commemorating 100 years since the start of World War I.
This is from Day 3 of the of the events, and the final day with the Giants.

The parade continues directly from the previous video, with The Grandmother making her way along after the mourners. She stops for a short rest since she's decided not to use her wheelchair for this journey. Just ahead of her is her Safe of Memories.
After The Grandmother comes the live band I'm not sure what they're called and can't seem to find info online. If you know, reply in the comments and I'll put it here.
Following the band is The Little Girl, reunited with her Grandmother after her adventures earlier in the week. Still full of the curiosity which led her here in the first place, she looks around at the crowd.
Behind her is The Grandmother's wheelchair, and a gigantic pair of working cymbals.
Finally is a cannon firing confetti and post-card sized Pals posters with the familiar image of Lord Kitchener and the phrase "Your country needs YOU" - there's some debate about whether this exact design was actually used during the First World War, but it is undeniably a well recognised design.
The parade continues in the next video.
The Giant Spectacular was created by Jean-Luc Courcoult and Royal De Luxe.

Video filmed on Wapping, Liverpool, on 2014-07-27 at 10:38 BST.
My apologies for any quality issues - I couldn't see what I was filming most of the time, either due to holding the camera at arms' length or having the sun in my eyes, plus the occasional jostle from fellow spectators :-)
