The community came together at the weekend as hundreds of youngsters marched through Bromsgrove in celebration of St George's Day. 

The Bromsgrove Scouts took to the streets for their annual St George's Day parade on Saturday (April 20) as the town marked the special occasion. 

The parade started at 1pm from the Housman Statue on High Street with the group making their way towards Argos and heading towards the Artrix via High Street, Stratford Road and School Drive.  

Residents came out to show their support as the event was hailed a huge success.
