Invasion Colchester 2019

As is traditional, the first Saturday of September once again saw the annual Invasion Colchester. A huge cosplay event to raise money for charity, it takes over the town centre and appears to grow each time it is staged. There seemed to me to be a lot of police cars around this years – not the usual police cars but American police cars that had cordoned off one of the roads, preventing cars from driving past Ace Comics, which is home base for the event. These are photos taken by either Mel or myself, with the exception of the picture immediately below, which shows the entire group of cosplayers and comes from the Invasion Colchester Facebook page, where you can find dozens of other pictures taken around town.

I'll let the other photographs speak for themselves. The first batch are cars and other vehicles and then we'll get into the costumes.
