We got into Castlefields just before lunch. Because of building work, some of the local permanent moorers had been relocated onto to visitor moorings making it interesting moor up without obstructing the trip boats. Several trip boats were due take fans to Man. United in the evening for the match against Pompey.

We spent the afternoon shopping and sightseeing in Manchester. In Albert Square, outside Manchester City Hall, there is another statue of Prince Albert.

Some musicians and dancers from Gambia were performing in Piccadilly Gardens. They were great.
