Cruise visitors enjoy colourful parade as Parliament opens

Hundreds of Tongatapu secondary and tertiary school students led by lively brass bands marched through central Nuku’alofa today, Thursday 2 June, to mark the opening of the 2016 Session of the Legislative Assembly of Tonga, while passengers from the Pacific Pearl cruise ship berthed at the Vuna Wharf near Parliament House enjoyed the spectacle.
