Christmas Isn't Christmas without the Sally Army by phil_howcroft

Christmas Isn't Christmas without the Sally Army

Christmas Isn't Christmas without the Sally Army

This is the Salvation Army Brass Band playing in the Nottingham Victoria Centre Shopping Centre

The Salvation Army were formed by a Nottingham born man , William Booth, so the Salvation Army has quite a connection to Nottingham and it's citizens always seem to have pride in them.

My Dad used to like the Sally Army, it was his charity of choice for donations etc.

Merry Christmas to all my 365 virtual friends :)

Merry Christmas, Phil. :)

Proper Christmas scene and capture!
I remember when 'Sally Ann' bands would parade through the streets every Sunday morning, stopping every so often to play and pray, too. I've heard lots of their bands over the years and they were all, with only one exception, excellent.
