Looking back, 2013 in Tonga has been a year of parades – for Matangi Tonga Online we've photographed parades for anniversaries, the Heilala Festival, the King's Birthday military parade, the opening of Parliament, as well as parades to welcome home our national sports teams - the Mate Ma'a Tonga, the 'Ikale Tahi and our Special Olympians. There has been a body-builders parade, a parade for the International Day of Peace, and the Queen's Baton Relay, to name a few. So despite 2013 being a difficult year for the Tongan economy, and not to forget a year of tragedy for some, the streets of Nuku'alofa have seen people coming out to have some fun.
