Vintage cars tour island for annual cavalcade

The annual cavalcade goes around the island and passes all 12 parish churches

Vintage car owners "pulled out all the stops" to give their vehicles a festive makeover for Jersey's annual Boxing Day Cavalcade, organisers have said.

Dozens of vehicles, all made before 1951, gathered at The Esplanade in St Helier, before driving around the island and passing all 12 parish churches.

It is one of the biggest events for the Jersey Old Motor Club, which also organises an Easter run and a Liberation Day Cavalcade.

Joan Gardner, the club's president, said: "We are always received with great enthusiasm. They wave us on our way and it's lovely, and we all wave back and beep our horns and that kind of thing."

She thanked the honorary police for helping participants out of tricky junctions.

"Some are especially difficult, like the one after coming up the hill out of St Brelade's Bay," she said.

"I would like to say a heartfelt thank you."

Christmas figures were a popular decoration for many of the car owners taking part

The Old Motor Club is now planning what it will do to mark the 80th anniversary of Liberation Day in the island, on 9 May 2025.

Ms Gardner said the club was keen to be involved.

"We're waiting to hear from the Bailiff's Office about what we can do," she added.
