About 200,000 gathered at Marina Bay on Saturday to mark Singapore’s 43rd birthday.
The celebrations started with our own teenage icon's Nathan Hartono performing the opening song at the NDP titled "Where I Belong".
It didn't take long for the weather to change from clear blue skies to bits of drizzle. But still, the crowd are energetic and the atmosphere was great!
The Singapore Air Force’s elite Black Knights participated in this year’s NDP for the first time.
The six F16 Fighting Falcons greeted spectators at Marina Bay with their electrifying entrance and they certainly left a mark in the sky for all to see.
Flying at some 2,000 km/hr, over the business hub area, a mistake will prove too costly.
The gallery can sit about 30,000 people, about half the size of National Stadium. But about 150,000 others also caught a glimpse of the parade from the waterfront.
For me i caught the action at home as it was raining and cos i have no tickets, but still i'm not to impress with this year's performance..
NDP is due next week and i'm really excited. Are you? And i really like the english version of the theme song this year!
