Talk:London's New Year's Day Parade

American bands
I'm sure someone would correct me if necessary, but as I understand it this is an article about London. However, the majority of the texts refers to American High School Bands. I suggest either those parts toned down or moved to a separate article. Bee (talk) 14:23, 1 January 2014 (UTC)


 * The event happens in London, but almost half the participants are from the USA (something like 4000 out of 8500 in 2013 AFAICR from the commentary) --Rjmunro (talk) 09:46, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

1920s?
The article's first paragraph says: "The first year the parade took place was 1987" which I believe to be correct. The "Organisation" section says "The parade dates back to the 1920s to celebrate the special relationship between Britain and the USA." I don't know where this comes from - it seems contradictory. --Rjmunro (talk) 09:46, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Costs
How is the parade financed? Who pays for the travelling costs and other expenses of the American high school marching bands? Headhitter (talk) 12:14, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Proposal to rename to "London's New Year's Day Parade"
I've had an email request come through OTRS to rename this article to "London's New Year's Day Parade". Does anyone have any objections? I've invited the requestee to comment here. Samuel Tarling (talk) 20:23, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
