On Wednesday the 3rd July, the pupils were out in numbers on Maldon High Street to welcome the East London Cabbies Outing to the town.
Crowds turned out to welcome and cheer the children on as the procession made its way down the High Street towards The Prom. It was wonderful to see the smiles on the children’s faces as they were treated to a Royal welcome by pupils from Maldon High and the residents of Maldon.
WELL-WISHERS gave 80 East London cabbies and hundreds of disabled school children a spectacular welcome on their annual charity outing to Maldon.
Wednesday 3rd July marked the 61st year of the parade, which takes disabled children from the London boroughs of Newham and Havering for a fun day out.
A crowd greeted the arrivals in Maldon High Street before they stopped at Plume School for a spot of lunch before making their way to Promenade Park, where the children enjoyed a disco, face-painting and a gift from the organisers.
Chairman of the East London Cabbies Outing Ken Flemwell, from East Ham, said: "The whole day went very well again and the people of Maldon did as they always do and make us proud.
