SINGAPORE: Singapore celebrates its 48th birthday with the National Day Parade (NDP) at the Marina Bay Floating Platform.
Amidst tight security, revellers started streaming in early to the Floating Platform, hoping to get the best seats for the NDP.
Nearby, participants too were preparing for their performances to wow a crowd of some 27,000 people.
Close to the Floating Platform, fringe activities such as music performances kept everyone entertained.
The NDP will culminate in a grand show of fireworks.
One of NDP's all-time favourites - the Red Lions' jump segment - was called off due to low cloud cover.
The parachuters were slated to jump off at 5.59pm, but that did not happen.
Netizens had posted online that the cancellation was due to low clouds.
The Ministry of Defence is likely to issue a statement on this later Friday.
