Scotland (Aberdeen Torcher Parade 2014)

The Parade, started in 1889 by nurses from Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, is Europe's largest student-led parade and raises thousands of pounds for local charities every year.
The floats of the parade are traditionally built on the morning of the parade by student groups and societies from the University of Aberdeen, Robert Gordon University and the North East Scotland College, as well as other organisations.
Themes this year include Disney's Frozen, the Lego Movie and Marvel Superheroes.
Run by students since the 1920s, the parade has been a long-standing tradition in Aberdeen. Organised by the Aberdeen University Students' Association Raising And Giving Campaign, it contributes money to organisations such as Aberdeen Cyrenians, who this year will receive £3,000 for a new fridge and two new freezers to support the homeless in Aberdeen,
A further £4,675 will be donated to CLAN Cancer Support to help run its aqua detox sessions for those affected by a diagnosis of cancer.
