This year's Battle of Flowers floats are getting another outing today, for the 2018 Christmas Parade.

The free event starts at 4:45pm, leaving from Maritime House and passing by the Waterfront, Liberation Square and the bus station.

Organiser, Jackie Donald, hopes it'll give islanders that festive feeling:

"Our annual Christmas Parade has become an Island favourite and while we cannot guarantee the weather we hope the community will come along to support it and come away feeling a little more festive "

For the first time, a new trophy for 'Best Adapted Float' will be awarded and the event will be streamed online to try and attract visitors to come to the island for next year's event.

You can watch it on the Battle of Flowers Facebook page.
