Up Helly Aa, Lerwick, Shetland Islands, Great Britain, 30th January 1973
4 - the Procession
After nightfall the galley is dragged through the streets of the town in a torchlight procession. The torch bearers are the members of all the 'squads', led by the Jarl Squad. Each squad chooses a theme and dresses accordingly. The themes are very varied, some historical, some topical or satirical.
