‘Trump is disgusting’ written in sky over Rose Parade
Skywriting over the 127th Rose Parade makes a reference to US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, in Pasadena, California, yesterday.
Arrests so far at the Rose Parade and the Rose Bowl are up slightly over the seven people detained previous year, when a group of protestors were accused of attempting to interfere with the Rose Parade.
The theme of this year’s parade, “Know Your Adventure”, was inspired by the centennial of the National Park Service in 2016.

Despite the prospect of overnight temperatures as low as the mid-30s, enthusiastic fans began planting seats, blankets and even air mattresses to camp out along the 5 1/2-mile route Thursday, with many gathering around heaters and barbecues after nightfall.

It won the Extraordinaire Trophy for most spectacular float – one of several awards given to the massive works of art that thrilled spectators along Colorado Boulevard.

The 44 floats included an entry paying homage to the City of Hope medical center that was built by and featured athlete cancer survivors.
“There are bomb-sniffing canines, rapid response teams and other less visible resources ready for anything”, said Sanchez, who admitted there were “no known credible threats” to Pasadena or the parade.
HollywoodLifers, are you excited for the Rose Parade? Diaper bags will also be allowed for those attending with young children.
On Thursday, Chan said he had already noticed a number of stepped-up measures, including extra patrols and more surveillance cameras. “I don’t think I’ve ever missed one on television since the early 1960s”, Burns said. “Of course, we have a lot of prayers going out as well, for the safety of everyone”.
