Heavy rain in the morning in Nukuʻalofa capital city did not stop a parade to celebrate Fiji’s gold medal win in the Olympics men’s sevens.
The celebration was organised by the Fijian community in Tonga.
Tonga’s Deputy Prime Minister Siaosi Sovaleni and the Minister for Public Enterprises Hon. Poasi Tei joined the parade which marched along Taufaʻahau Road.
The marchers carried banners and waved Fijian flags. Some carried umbrellas.
The Fijian rugby players beat their former colonial ruler, Britain, by 43-7 to win the inaugural men’s rugby sevens competition.
