    The Halloween Rollers with their feet in the water The suspense lasted half an hour, last night at the start of the Halloween Rollers Parade at the foot of the Palace of Justice, on place Poelaert. A light shower disrupted a departure that finally took place… by bus, duly escorted by a squad of police motorcyclists, blue lights flashing. The troupe gathered at the Châtelain for a small glass of blood-red drink. (Olivier Pirardi)
