ARTHUR
NEW YORK, UNITED STATES: The “Arthur” balloon is kept close to the ground as it makes its way down Broadway 26 November in New York during the 72nd Annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Under new safety rules implemented since a spectator was struck and injured by a lamppost that was hit by a balloon at last year’s parade, balloons were smaller and held under stricter control.
