MORE than 20 young girls of Camp GLOW Tonga visited Parliament on Tuesday.
WITH eight hours away to the opening of the Rugby World Cup 2011, where the āIkale Tahi takes on the All Blacks, the ongoing nationwide support for the āIkale Tahi is so tremendous.
The Acting Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, Lord Tuāiāafitu and Tongatapu 1 MP āAkilisi Pohiva, today lead Parliamentās staff in a float parade in Nukuāalofa.
With the actual opening game scheduled for 9:30pm tonight, parliament staff joined the rest of the nation taking to the streets to show a feeling of patriotism.
The parade began from Parliament along Vuna Road to Houmakelikao, Maāufanga, Halaleva all the way to Vaiola hospital at Havelu before returning to downtown Nukuāalofa on Taufaāahau Road.
A Tongan flag was flying from one of the Parliamentās vehicles and the sound of vehicle horns drowning any sounds along streets of Nukuāalofa.
It is a Red mad Friday in Tonga and it is amazing just seeing people in all walks of life wearing red to support the āIkale Tahi team.
People are just going crazy not only dressing but painting their faces in red and white and dancing on the streets while some parading on vehicles with loud music playing āIkale Tahi songs.
To show nationalism, barge vessel the MV Hifofua that is painted all red to support the āIkale Tahi was also seen sailing along the Nukuāalofa waterfront with catchy phrase ā Go āIkale Tahi goā on the side of the boat.
It is a scene never seen in Nukuāalofa.
