Circus Parade, Princes Street, Edinburgh
Description
A large crowd has gathered on the pavement of Princes Street to see elephants and camels paraded along the street. The animals are accompanied by handlers wearing red coats and followed by a red van with two large speakers on its roof with signage reading, 'Robert Brothers, Europe's Greatest Circus'. Traffic continues to pass the shops on the other side of the road. There is a large scaffolded gap in the buildings on Princes Street and construction hoardings preventing access.
