Good Friday in Staines

Staines, Middx. Fri 3 Apr 2015

  
 
 It was raining slightly as people met at the Methodist Church

 Some were carrying carefully wrapped Hot Cross Buns to give away with serviettes printed with a message about them

 

 One man was pressed into carrying the cross

 and led the procession, in front of the Salvation Army band from Ashford

 

 

 Church leaders followed

 and then a long line of people from the various congregations in Staines

  The procession went up Thames St by the side of Debenhams
 
and turned into the High St 

 

A piece of sculpture celebrates that Staines used to be the major producer of linoleum 

There was the usual Friday market in the Hight St 

The man carrying the cross got rather ahead of the band as he turned into Norris Road past the mosaic coat of arms
