Victory day

Every year on this day a great parade is held at Red Square in Moscow. Crowds line the square as soldiers and war veterans march past in time with the music from the band. Tanks roll by causing the groud to shake. Children wave flags and the people cheer. It is a moving occasion and everyone feels very proud.
