[MR] BBC: Up Helly Aa Underway

[Garth Groff and Sally Sanford]

Noble Friends,

So it is now evening in the Shetlands, and the Up Helly Aa festivals are
well underway, as no doubt are many of the participants.

Photos of various guizer costumes, plus a video clip of the 1927 festival
(before it went all-viking), are here:

Hopefully there will be more tomorrow, including the ship burning.

Yours Aye,
