Wow! Where did you find that one Les? I’m amazed!
 The place is the old Olympic stadium where the first modern Olympic games were held at the end of the 19th century. The picture could be from a display put on by the Greek forces which returned from Italy after the liberation in 1944. Alternatively it could be a propaganda event during the civil war. If you look there’s a bren carrier in the background. I’d love to be able to take a closer look at the markings; they’d tell me more about the approximate date. Do you have the picture in higher res? Are there any more from the same event?  Fyll

Not quite Europe but the London victory parade in 1946, i placed the photo here as i could not think of another thread for it. It is the subject at hand so feel thats OK, one interesting thing on a further photo from the rear the 25 pdr guns appear to be early models with no flash eliminator on the barrel i had always thought that these had all been converted and later production guns were factory fitted so by 1946 it seems a bit odd

The official photo is in the IWM Kidbrooke collection. I assume that various copies were made therefore?

Canadian CMP FAT
Old post revisited!
It seems that the FAT in the photo above in Les's post 11 (with the the US 551 landing ship behind) is the only photo I've seen from WW2 showing camo colours other than a basis overall colour on a late type CMP '13 Cab' FAT. It looks to be in two colour scheme of SCC2 Brown with either SCC.1A Dark Brown or SCC.14 'Black' on the upper surfaces, which relates to a circa 1942-43 paint scheme that carried on post D-Day if there was no need to repaint the vehicle. So when did the British first get deliveries of the later type Chev and Ford CMP '13 Cab' FAT, which was the 7B2 body (if on a Ford)? Certainly it must have been after the North African Campaign Sadly the web shows very few wartime photos of these; mostly preserved, so and other later type FATs in two colour camo would be nice to see.
