A MAGICAL lantern parade was held for children and their parents at Ringwood’s Waldorf School.
The smaller children had made lanterns to hold and were joined by class 8 children in Roman costume, who acted out the story of St Martin, who is said to have cut his cloak in half to share with a beggar.
One of the class 8 students was on horseback, and led the 100-strong throng in the parade.
School administrator Nigel Revill said: “We hold this parade annually to mark Martinmas and other festivals of light such as Advent and Diwali.”
