Fans line Rose Parade route for 'Star Wars' tribute

PASADENA – Hundreds of thousands of spectators bundled in jackets and blankets braved chilly temperatures as the 118th Rose Parade got off to a rousing start Monday.

The festivities began with a majestic flyover by an Air Force B-2 stealth bomber that brought cheers from people packed in bleachers and on streets. Singer Kristin Chenoweth and a dancing troupe rang in the new year with a tribute to this year's parade theme “Our Good Nature.”
