WHAT a lovely sight on Page 11 of The Press on Monday April 22 of all the hundreds of Scouts and Guides taking part in the annual St George’s Day Parade.

To see the very smart young folks marching to York Minster from Clifford’s Tower made me feel so happy, especially to see the warm reception they received from the crowds lining the streets of our lovely city.

It does prove that all young people are not thugs and tearaways. Long may it reign, God bless them all.
