Viking Parade
As the Final Fling draws to a close, some 400 guizers will be getting ready to light up for a special Viking procession to mark the close of Shetland Hamefarin 2010.
In celebration of Up Helly Aa, all ten 2010 Jarl Squads from across Shetland, the 2010 Lerwick Junior Jarl Squad and the last 10 years of Lerwick Jarl squads will take part in this memorable torch-lit parade around Clickimin Loch. The mass parade of Vikings will culminate in the burning of a galley, specially adapted by the Lerwick Up Helly Aa Committee.
The torches will light up at 11.00pm.
There will also be a fireworks display following the burning of the galley.
Further information on the route and viewing areas will be announced soon.
