A man dressed as George Washington waves
New York, UNITED STATES: A man dressed as George Washington waves to the crowd as he walks down Broadway during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York 24 November 2005. The 79th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade started on schedule amid concerns that windy weather might ground the famous balloons. The parade, which has been an annual event since 1924, is expected to draw an estimated 2.5 million spectators and 44 million television viewers, according the retail store. AFP PHOTO / Timothy A.
