New York Police Department's annual parade and inspection, held at a crowded Union Square. New York's finest walk, ride horses or bicycles in procession. A fancifully unformed marching band follows soon after, but before they can turn the bend, a slew of spectators-- some of them women holding umbrellas to shield their pale feaures from the sun-- walk into the street for a better listen, in the process closing off the width of the parade route. Following the marching band are orderly rows of uniformed police officers marching, looking very neat in their white gloves and helmets.
