"It should never be cancelled, it should always stay.
"I used to take part in the floats, I loved getting dressed up.
"It was always so much fun."
The Barney family of Grimsby said the day had been fantastic.
Sienna Barney, 9, said: "It was brilliant, my favourite float was the pirate one and the dinosaur was great, too."
Sienna's sister Beau, 4, said: "I really like the big wrestlers and the pirate ship."
Diane Aubrey, her husband and two boys from Kendall, in the Lake District, said: "We have come here on holiday and to see the parade as well has been great.
"We have really enjoyed the floats and the dancing, it has been superb!"
Marketing controller for Young's, Marina Richardson said: "It has been a fantastic day.
"Everyone has enjoyed it.
"Our carnival princess Becky has been great, too.
