Uni: The PPSU Pirate RAG Parade, Plymouth, Devon - 14th February 1987

It's the culmination of this year's Pirate RAG week, with a city-centre procession of floats along a route that seems to be more-or-less the same as the year before, but without New George Street: down North Hill, along Mayflower Street, down to Derry's Cross and along Royal Parade then back up Exeter Street to finish at Portland Place, just behind the SU.
