HOLLYWOOD, CA: November 1, 2016 -- Clint Eastwood, 86, the movie icon and legend made a rare appearance on Saturday in Carmel By The Sea. Eastwood has made Carmel his home for decades and served as the town's mayor for one term from 1986-1988. Eastwood, the Grand Marshal, was riding shotgun atop a Wells Fargo Stagecoach and rode down the city streets ending on San Carlos. The event was the Centennial Celebration of Carmel By The Sea.

Clint Eastwood's attire was iconic in itself:  The hat from "Unforgiven", the poncho from the Man With No Name trilogy: "A Fistful Of Dollars", "For A Few Dollars More" and "The Good, The Bad And The Ugly". The boots and spurs?  Eastwood wasn't sure, but guessed they were from his time on the TV series "Rawhide". When asked what he was looking forward to, he replied "Lunch!"

The following video footage is of Clint Eastwood climbing down from the Wells Fargo Stagecoach at the end of the parade, on San Carlos. Eastwood graciously met with fans and began signing autographs. Fans began to push forward and security around the legend escorted him away. This raw footage was as close as possible. Apologies that the video began shooting vertically, then horizontally to achieve widescreen. It didn't work. However a corrected widescreen video is posted below the original video here:
